MasterImage 3D, provider of pioneering 3D solutions for theaters, announced a partnership with Cinemaxx, a subsidiary of Indonesia’s Lippo Group, to provide 3D cinema systems for Cinemaxx’s rollout of cineplexes across Indonesia.
Indonesian conglomerate Lippo Group is a leading property developer with significant investment in retailing, media, hospitality, financial services, energy, IT, healthcare and education. Cinemaxx, the latest addition to Lippo Group’s entertainment business, will expand the film exhibition industry in Indonesia by opening over 1,000 new screens over the next five years with 3D a prominent component of that experience. Cinemaxx will install its first MasterImage 3D systems in June 2014.
Cinemaxx selected MasterImage 3D for the premium quality of MI-HORIZON3D digital cinema system, recognized for providing bright 3D without sacrificing image quality. MI-HORIZON3D uses a three-beam optical system that eliminates discrepancies between pass-through light and reflected light to create high-brightness 3D with greater clarity and uniformity than two-way beam systems.
“MasterImage 3D and Cinemaxx are committed to provide moviegoers in Indonesia with cutting-edge 3D cinema technology, so every 3D movie experience is at its best,” said Brian Riady, CEO at Cinemaxx. “The high-brightness quality of MI-HORIZON3D combined with MasterImage 3D’s reputation and ownership business model made them a perfect partner for Cinemaxx.”
“Indonesia is a tremendously engaged market for premium 3D viewing with a growing middle class and tech-savvy youth,” said Ray Seok, Vice President of Digital Cinema at MasterImage 3D. “Cinemaxx is highly motivated and well-equipped to capitalize on this opportunity and we are honored to be their partner in bringing the best premium 3D experience together.”
