Ymagis
Group (ISIN: FR0011471291, TICKER: MAGIS), the European specialist in digital
technologies for the cinema industry, today announced the completion of three installations
with Dolby Atmos™, with plans to equip additional screens in the agreement
signed with Greek cinema exhibitor Village Cinemas.
For the
very first time in Greece, moviegoers now can enjoy their favorite films with groundbreaking
audio technology in two major cities: in Athens at Village Cinemas at the Mall
Athens and at Village Cinemas at Athens Metro Mall as well as at the Village
Cinemas at Mediterranean Cosmos in the northern city of Thessaloniki.
“After signing an initial
contract in October 2014 for the digitization of all of Village Cinemas’ venues,
we are thrilled to see our partner now adopting Dolby’s revolutionary sound
system to the benefit of its patrons,” said Till Cussmann, VP Exhibitor
Relations of Ymagis Group. “Two additional Village Cinemas’ venues will be
equipped in early 2016 by our skilled engineers and technicians. Thanks to our
65 systems installed in Europe and those still to come, we have gained tremendous
experience with this equipment, increasing our ability to offer cost-effective
solutions to movie exhibitors.”
“The movie industry
keeps surprising us with new and innovative ways of looking to the future. The
most recent advance is Dolby Atmos technology and its forward-thinking approach
to the sound of tomorrow,” said George Christodoulou, CEO of Village Roadshow
Greece. “We strongly believe that the Greek market will, through Dolby Atmos,
enjoy a next-level moviegoing experience. It will also help the entire industry
move forward. Only those who embrace innovation will benefit, and we are
extremely proud of the choices we’ve made. We welcome Dolby Atmos in Greece and
are delighted with our collaboration with Ymagis. We can’t wait for moviegoers
to share the experience with us and feel every dimension!”
