“We are constantly looking for exciting options that will give the audience a better, premium entertainment experience,” explained Dr. Gregory Theile, CEO for Kinopolis.

“In today’s competitive milieu, where everyone is competing for the attention of consumers, D-BOX gives us a definite edge that has already had an amazing effect on our brand awareness, attendance records, and most importantly, ticket sales.”

Installation will begin in July by ECCO Cine Supply and Service GMBH. It is scheduled for completion in December, ahead of the festive holiday season.

“The totally flexible seating options and easy installation means exhibitors can be up and running in very little time,” added Thomas Rüttgers, Managing Director of ECCO Cine Supply and Service GMBH. “For moviegoers, the amazing precision and highly believable immersion that you can only get from a single-seat and with a personalised experience that is designed to pull you into the movie like no other system can. As Kinopolis will tell you, that’s a unique advantage that is proving to be great for repeat business.”
