Imax is planning to open a third theatre in Broadbeach on Australia's Gold Coast joining Sydney and Melbourne.
The new theatre, being developed in partnership with EVT-owned Event Cinemas, is scheduled to open in December with the showing of Mufasa: The Lion King.
The companies are currently remodeling an existing Event Cinemas auditorium. It will feature Imax 4K laser projection. There were no details released on how big the screen will be.
"At EVT, our vision has always been to provide experiences that escape the ordinary, and Imax embodies that ethos,” said Daniel McCabe, EVT's general manager, cinema operations Australia. “Queenslanders have long desired an IMAX cinema, and we are thrilled to bring this incredible cinematic experience to the Gold Coast."
"Australia boasts an exceptionally passionate moviegoing audience and 2024 has already become the highest-grossing year for Imax in the country since 2016,” said Imax chief sales officer Giovanni Dolci. “With audience demand at an all-time high, we couldn't be more excited to bring the Imax experience to the Gold Coast."
