New Shaw Theatres opens at Waterway Point, Punggol!
By Flora / 19 Jan 2016 (Tuesday)
Shaw Theatres will officially open the third digital IMAX theatre at Water Point, Puggol this Thursday, 21 January 2016!
The new cinema will boast the most number of screens in a suburban location with 11 screens, including a digital IMAX theatre. This is Shaw Theatres’ ninth location, and the fourth that the exhibitor has opened over the last six years and all in suburban districts – i.e. Shaw Theatres Seletar in Seletar (December 2014), Shaw Theatres JCube in Jurong East (April 2012), and Shaw Theatres Nex in Serangoon Central (December 2010).
Mr. Mark Shaw, Executive Vice President of Operations, Shaw Theatres, said: “Our strategy of going to the heartlands and commitment to bringing the best movie experiences to our patrons, has paid off. We are confident that the demand for a premium movie-going experience will continue to rise in Singapore. For example, IMAX accounted for 75% of our first hour advance ticket sales for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Our patrons can look forward to more Blockbusters released in
IMAX like Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (release on 24 March) and Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War (release on 28 April) which will feature select footage shot with IMAX cameras.”
