Regal Entertainment Group Partners with Real D for Rollout of Digital 3 D Cinema
Regal Entertainment Group
(NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest
theatre circuit in the United States under the Regal Cinemas, United Artists
Theatres and Edwards Theatres brands, and REAL D, the leader in the delivery of
premium 3-D experiences, announced today that the companies have entered an
agreement to rollout digital 3-D cinema in Regal brand theatres. Regal will
install REAL D Cinema systems on 17 screens in theatres in the top markets for
the presentation of digital 3-D content.
Disney’s highly anticipated, first-ever CG animated film Chicken Little will be
the first feature film presented by Regal in REAL D Cinema format on Nov. 4,
2005. As part of the REAL D Cinema experience, Chicken Little audiences will
receive a pair of 3-D glasses styled after the eyeglasses worn by lead character
Chicken Little; the glasses can be taken home free as souvenirs of the movie.
“Seeing a movie in REAL D Cinema is a unique entertainment experience that
cannot be replicated in the home,” said Greg Dunn, President and Chief Operating
Officer, Regal Entertainment Group. “We are pleased to work with REAL D to
introduce movie audiences to the next evolution of theatrical entertainment.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Regal to rollout REAL D Cinema. REAL D is
setting the standard for digital 3-D and profoundly impacting the theatrical
landscape,” said Michael V. Lewis, Chairman, REAL D. “REAL D’s goal is to
broaden the cinematic footprint so that digital 3-D truly is a mainstream
experience available to mass audiences.”
The REAL D Cinema platform is rapidly emerging as the standard for the delivery
of digital 3-D cinema. In addition to content from Disney, Columbia Pictures has
committed to the 2006 release of content for the REAL D Cinema platform.
