Nine O’Clock: First IMAX theatre in Romania opens today

Romanian news source Nine O’Clock reports on the country’s first IMAX theater opening in Bucarest:

The operator Cinema City International will inaugurate in the newly opened AFI Palace Cotroceni 21 theatres, in an investment of over 20 million euros.

Officially inaugurated on October 18, the megaplex is open to the public as of today.

The new megaplex includes 21 movie screens, with 4,300 seats, of which 17 are conventional theatres, 3 are VIP screening rooms of 30 to 50 seats and one theatre, with 400 seats performing in IMAX. “The project cost over 10 million euros” says Mooky Greidinger, Cinema City International CEO, “an investment we are expecting to cover in record time.” Thus, in the Bucharest megaplex one of the biggest picture projectors in the world will operate, a piece of machinery weighing over one tonne, with dimensions much over the normal size of a normal digital projector. Moreover, the cost of such a projector is about 2 million euros while that of a classic one can get to 40,000 euros.
