The Utopia Group SA was a cinema chain headquartered in Luxembourg, with operations spanning Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. In 2015, the group's activities in France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands were acquired by the Kinepolis Group. However, the Belgian segment was sold to the French company Union Générale Cinématographique (UGC) following intervention by the Belgian competition authority, which prevented Kinepolis from completing its acquisition there.
Established in 2002 through the consolidation of Luxembourg’s Utopia SA and the Dutch firm Polyfilm BV, the enterprise operated 19 cinemas predominantly across the Benelux countries under the "Utopolis" brand. The premier venue, Utopolis Kirchberg (currently known as Kinepolis Kirchberg), was situated in Luxembourg City.
After changes in ownership, most cinemas underwent rebranding; nonetheless, the "Utopia" cinema located in Luxembourg City's Limpertsberg neighborhood has preserved its original name as a nod to its heritage.
