After I read this news, I went to watch Imax 3D. I really love it. This is a good news for Thai people that we will have more 5 Imax theatres. Imax 3D is will make you feel apart of the movie, so lot of people quite interested and give an attention on it.
Imax's senior vice-president and managing director for Asia Pacific will be add about 70 new theatres by 2012. The company has signed a deal with Major Cineplex Group to build another five Imax digital theatres in Thailand. They have the budget also includes $5 million (160 million baht). They are currently 430 Imax theatres around the world. The cost of a film print is US$25,000 for each 2D film and up to $45,000 for 3D film but now, cost of a copy film is down to only $300 both of 2D and 3D. Imax signed a deal with Warner Brothers to provide films for digital theatres over next 3 years. The company has a good relationship with other film studios such as Disney, Paramount Picture, Dreamworks, and Sony Pictures.
In my opinion, I'm glad to hear that Thailand will build more Imax theatres. Nowadays, people are quite interested about a movie. Last 4 months, I went to Singapore. Singapore already had 4D movie. It very amazing. You can feel that you are apart of that movie. If Thailand can build more 3D theatres and still develop other technology, I'm sure that Thailand will have a good image. The other country will change their view that Thailand is the high-technology too as same as Japanese and other country around the world.
