'''The HOYTS Group''' of companies in Australia and New Zealand includes '''HOYTS Cinemas''', a [[cinema chain]], and '''Val Morgan''', which sells advertising on cinema screens and [[digital billboard]]s.

The company was established by dentist Arthur Russell in [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria, Australia|Victoria]] in 1908, showing films in a hired hall. After expansion into other states and several changes of ownership, the majority of HOYTS was acquired by a Chinese conglomerate, the [[Wanda Group]], in 2015. Presently, HOYTS owns and operates 60 cinemas, across Australia and New Zealand, covering 500 screens and more than 60,000 seats, including its newest cinema in Ipswich, making it one of Australia's largest movie exhibitors.
