It has always been our goal to create the best possible 3D experience for our consumers and we can’t think of a better partner than RealD to present 3D movies with the best quality in our cinemas. The Ultimate Screen adds significantly to the consumer experience in 2D and 3D. Movies like AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, the upcoming SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY or family entertainment like Pixar’s INCREDIBLES 2 or JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM are made to be seen in 3D and even more on an Ultimate Screen.” “Adding the Ultimate Screen installations once again demonstrates our belief in technological innovation : to maintain our market leadership, to constantly improve our customer’s experience and compete successfully with entertainment choices outside the cinema channel.”
Roger Harris, Managing Director RealD (Europe/Middle East/Africa/Russia): “RealD is very happy to extend our long-term deal with Cineplexx for six more years. Cineplexx has always been at the forefront of investing in technical innovation as demonstrated by the installment of ten Ultimate Screens. It is our common goal to offer the finest 3D experience to the consumer and together we will continue to enhance not only our technical improvements such as Ultimate Screen, but will also identify common marketing opportunities with Cineplexx to strengthen the 3D markets in all territories even further.”
