Filmstaden AB (formerly SF Bio AB )[1] is Sweden's largest cinema chain,[2] and was founded in 1998 after Svensk Filmindustri was split into SF and SF Bio. The company is owned by the european group Odeon Cinemas Group, which has been owned by the world's largest cinema group, the American AMC Theatres since 2017.

The company was rebranded to "Filmstaden" on Bolagsverket due to the sale to AMC Theatres, in 2019.[3]
