UK's Largest Cinema Chain to Add New IMAX® Theatre to Circuit and Transition Glasgow Science Centre to Ground-Breaking Laser Projection System

Cineworld Group and Imax® Expand Revenue Share Partnership
IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX; TSX: IMX) and Cineworld Group PLC, the UK's largest cinema chain, today announced an expansion of the companies' revenue sharing agreement with an IMAX theatre to be added at a location yet to be determined and the installation of IMAX's next-generation laser digital projection technology at Glasgow Science Centre's IMAX® theatre in Scotland. This deal brings Cineworld Group's IMAX commitment to 13 under the parties' revenue share arrangement.
 
Cineworld has recently reached an agreement with the Glasgow Science Centre, an IMAX exhibitor since 2000, to take over the operations of its IMAX theatre - the first IMAX theatre in Scotland. Under the terms of the deal announced today, Cineworld will install an IMAX digital theatre system before transitioning to IMAX's dual 4K laser system.

"Together with Cineworld we look forward bringing even more audiences across the UK the biggest blockbusters in the world's most immersive film format."
 
IMAX's next-generation laser digital projection system, which represents the culmination of the largest R&D initiative in IMAX's history, incorporates the laser digital intellectual property IMAX licensed exclusively from Eastman Kodak and Barco's unique laser innovations. It is expected to set a new benchmark as the industry's premium entertainment experience and will enable IMAX's largest screens to deliver the highest-quality digital content available with greater brightness and clarity, a wider color gamut and deeper blacks.
