Sorry John ..... I will need to talk to someone on the inside to find out .... this is a Press release about the reopening of the IMAX . IMAX signs and opens theatre with SKYCITY Cinemas in Auckland, New Zealand IMAX(R) Theatre to Open in Time for Day and Date Release of Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience
TORONTO, June 22 /CNW/ - IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX), and Village SKYCITY Cinemas, today announced an agreement to open an IMAX(R) theatre in the Village SKYCITY Cinemas, Queen Street in Auckland, New Zealand. Village SKYCITY Cinemas is a joint venture between SKYCITY Leisure - a subsidiary of SKYCITY Entertainment Group, one of Australia's leading entertainment and leisure companies, and Village Roadshow. The theatre is scheduled to open in time to capitalize on the highly anticipated day and date release of Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience on June 28. The opening of the IMAX theatre will mark the first time that moviegoers in New Zealand will be able to see Hollywood movies that have been transformed into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience(R). "The unique combination of big Hollywood movies and The IMAX Experience is getting people out of their homes and back into theatres worldwide," said Joseph Moodabe, Chief Executive Officer of Village SKYCITY Cinemas. "The IMAX theatre will improve bottom-line results for our business by drawing incremental attendance to our multiplex with A-list movies presented in a way that can't be replicated anywhere else in New Zealand." "Our exciting summer film slate continues to drive exhibitor interest and accelerate the expansion of the IMAX theatre network worldwide," said IMAX Co-Chief Executive Officers Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "Village SKYCITY Cinemas is recognized as a market leader for introducing new technologies and presentation standards into its multiplexes in New Zealand. We are thrilled to enter into a partnership with this innovative exhibitor to offer moviegoers in New Zealand the most powerful and immersive cinematic experience in the world." The Queen Street IMAX theatre will be an upgraded version of an existing IMAX theatre that was previously operating in the same location until early 2002. Now under the vision and management of a new operator, the theatre will take advantage of an exciting pipeline of digitally re-mastered Hollywood movies in both 2D and IMAX(R) 3D, to serve as THE premiere moviegoing destination in Auckland.
About Village SKYCITY Cinemas Village SKYCITY Cinemas is a 50/50 joint venture between SKYCITY Leisure, a subsidiary of SKYCITY Entertainment Limited, one of Australasia's leading entertainment and leisure companies; and Village Roadshow - one of the largest exhibitors and distributors of movie titles in Australia. Village SKYCITY Cinemas opened Gold Class cinemas in Auckland in December 2005, the first cinemas of this type in New Zealand. Village SKYCITY Cinemas currently operate 68 screens throughout New Zealand and are eagerly awaiting the opening of new cinemas in Queensgate (Lower Hutt, Wellington) and Chartwell Square in Hamilton.
