Ster-Kinekor has opened it’s seventh IMAX theatre and it’s at the newly opened Mall of Africa.
The new IMAX theatre forms part of Ster-Kinekor’s state-of-the-art, 1 122-seater cinema complex within the Mall. It also boasts two luxurious 3D-enabled Cine Prestige cinemas with their own VIP Lounge and exclusive catering offerings, a further six cinemas of which two are 3D-ready, and self-service ticketing and catering terminals for a seamless cinema experience.
The IMAX theatre celebrated its official opening on 18 May, with a special preview screening of Marvel’s X-Men: Apocalypse: An IMAX 3D Experience to more than 300 invited guests. The film releases nationwide on the Ster-Kinekor circuit, including its seven IMAX theatres, on Friday, 20 May, a week before its US opening.
The new IMAX cinema is fitted with a floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall IMAX screen, second in size only to the newly-opened IMAX cinema at Eastgate Shopping Centre. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX’s customised theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that makes audiences feel as if they are part of the movie.
IMAX fans can look forward to a slate of big movie titles, such as X-Men: Apocalypse (20 May); Alice through the Looking Glass (27 May); Warcraft (10 June); Finding Dory (17 June); Independence Day: Resurgence (24 June); Suicide Squad (05 August); and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, all releasing in IMAX 3D over the next few months.
