Marcus Theatres plans to install 10 RealD 3D systems in new theatre
locations throughout the Midwest. The company also plans to install
nine RealD 3D systems at existing 3D locations in select Marcus
theatres.
With the addition of the 19 new 3D systems, Marcus Theatres will
offer digital 3D at 53 screens at 43 locations in seven
states—nearly 80% of its locations. All 19 3D systems are expected
to be installed by April 2010.
“Expanding our digital 3D footprint continues to be a major part of
our growth strategy,” said Bruce J. Olson, president of Marcus
Theatres. “Monster hits like Avatar continue to move digital 3D
full speed ahead as digital 3D movies attract a wide variety of
audiences. In fact, digital 3D films have outperformed the
corresponding 2D version of the same movie by a factor of two to
three times.”
“We will continue to explore additional opportunities to expand our
digital 3D presence and we are actively considering the potential
of eight to 10 additional digital 3D screens in the coming months,”
Olson added.
