Cineplex Entertainment has signed an agreement with Imax Corp. for three new theatre systems plus upgrades at seven Imax theatres, which will switch to digital from older film-based projectors.
The three new Imax theatres will be Winnipeg at the SilverCity Polo Park Cinemas, and in Ontario at SilverCity theatres in Windsor and Ancaster.
The new Imax theatres in Winnipeg and Windsor will open in July, while the new Imax screen in Ancaster is slated to open in the fall.
"We are happy to enter into this expanded deal with Cineplex, which has been a long-standing and successful exhibitor partner for Imax in Canada," said Imax CEO Richard Gelfond in a release.
"We are particularly pleased that two of the new Cineplex Imax locations will open in time to benefit from the exciting slate of summer blockbusters scheduled to be released in the Imax format."
Financial details of the agreements were not disclosed.
