Wanda Cinemas will be honored with the CineAsia “Exhibitor of the
Year” Award on Dec. 13 during the convention’s awards luncheon at
the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong.
“Because of the remarkable contribution Wanda has made to cinema
investment and development, it has become the number-one cinema
operator in China,” noted Robert H. Sunshine, managing director of
CineAsia.
Jerry Ye, general manager of Wanda Cinema Line Corporation, will
accept the award on Wanda’s behalf.
Founded in 2005, Wanda Cinemas has built more than 100 cinemas and
will own nearly 1,000 screens by the end of 2012. Box-office
revenues totaled almost RMB1.8 billion in 2011, with over 40
million viewers. Chain operation ability, marketing innovations and
service branding are the three primary elements of Wanda’s formula
for success.
On Sept. 4, 2012 the Dalian Wanda Group completed the acquisition
of AMC Entertainment Holdings, operator of AMC Theatres, currently
the world’s largest cinema owner.
Previous recipients of the “Exhibitor of the Year” Award at
CineAsia include Naoshi Yoda (TOEI & T-Joy); Irving Chee
(Golden Screen Cinemas); Tushar Dhingra (BIG Cinemas); and Bob
Vallone (Lark International Multimedia Ltd.). CineAsia 2012 will
