IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX; TSX: IMX) and Formula Kino, one of Russias leading exhibition chains, today announced an agreement to install three IMAX theatres in new construction projects across Russia. Under the terms of the agreement IMAX theatres will be installed in Moscow and Novokuznetsk, with IMAXs next-generation laser digital projection technology to be added to a new complex in Moscow expected to open in 2015, marking IMAXs first laser system deal in the country.
In December 2012, Formula Kino merged with Kronverk Cinema, which has an IMAX theatre in the regional city of Syktivkar. The merged companies operate under the Formula Kino brand. Todays agreement brings Formula Kinos total IMAX commitment to eight theatres, with existing IMAX theatres in St. Petersburg (3), Moscow (1) and Syktivkar (1).
We are very proud to be the first exhibitor in Russia to sign up for IMAXs groundbreaking laser projection technology, which we are confident will set a new standard of moviegoing in Russia, said Nikita Schegol, General Director, Formula Kino. This cutting-edge technology will serve as the centerpiece of our new Moscowsite, which will be designed as the countrys landmark multiplex and is expected to host Russias biggest movie premieres.
Formula Kino is a world-class exhibitor, innovator and marketer of the IMAX brand, said Andrew Cripps, President, IMAX EMEA. Not only is it the first in Russia to commit to our laser technology, but it will be adding the system to what is sure to be an iconic multiplex in Russia - a tremendous vote of confidence in the value we deliver. Russia is among our fastest-growing markets and with strong partners such as Formula Kino, we are well positioned to continue to expand the reach of The IMAX Experience throughout the country.
IMAXs next-generation laser projection system is expected to set a new benchmark as the industrys premium entertainment experience. The system, which represents the culmination of the largest R&D initiative in IMAXs history, incorporates the laser digital intellectual property IMAX exclusively licensed from Eastman Kodak and Barcos unique laser innovations. It will enable IMAXs largest screens to deliver the highest-quality digital content available with greater brightness and clarity, a wider color gamut and deeper blacks.
