As the 1990s began, Carmike's approach still ran contrary to that of its major competitors: While they were trying to become "leaner and meaner," Carmike was still looking for new turf. Consequently, the 154 existing screens the company acquired in 1990 came from two of its biggest rivals, Cineplex Odeon and United Artists. On top of that, 24 new screens were constructed. With nearly 1,000 total screens in about 175 different markets, Carmike was established as a major force in the movie theater industry. Meanwhile, Hollywood studios were emphasizing the kinds of films that Carmike's customers favored--action movies featuring big-name stars. The Rambo-type movies went over especially well at the many Carmike theaters located near military facilities.
