Cineworld and RealD announced today a continuation of their partnership on RealD 3D equipment and 3D glasses in the UK. Cineworld will use 3D equipment and glasses provided by RealD in their venues to create a premium 3D cinema experience for customers. The renewal was signed as part of a wider deal to include Regal in the US.
Renana Teperberg, Chief Commercial Officer said “Cineworld is proud to continue our relationship with RealD to offer industry leading 3D at our locations. It has always been our goal to create the best 3D experience for our consumers. Movies such as “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”, “Wonder Woman 1984” and “Jumanji: The Next Level” or family entertainment like “Mulan”, “Spies In Disguise” or “Trolls World Tour” are made to be seen in 3D. We believe in the future of the 3D market and the long-term partnership with RealD reflects that.”
John Trafford-Owen, Managing Director of RealD Europe said “RealD is delighted to continue our partnership with such a progressive company as Cineworld. Together we will strive to continually develop technology and screen the latest and greatest movies to consumers in the way they were meant to be seen; in spectacular, bright and crisp RealD 3D.”
