Regal Entertainment Group Offers Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: An IMAX(R) 3D Experience at 16 Locations
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (BusinessWire EON) June 15, 2007 --
"Regal Entertainment Group is proud to offer this IMAX 3D Experience at 16 locations, more than any other IMAX exhibitor. The selected 3D scenes will further enhance the film's explosive finale," stated Dick Westerling, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Regal Entertainment Group. "As we begin advance sales for both IMAX and 35-millimeter engagements, we anticipate Harry Potter will once again make box office magic."
In IMAX 3D, films virtually jump off of the screen and float around the theatre. This is made possible by a combination of IMAX's powerful 3D projector - which projects two strips of large-format film - and special, polarized 3D glasses that audience members wear to fuse the left and right eye images. The result is an amazing three-dimensional cinematic experience where the screen disappears and the film becomes a virtual reality.
Through IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology, films are enhanced for the unique image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience, to enable a remarkably larger than life presentation. These breathtaking images are projected onto a specially designed screen that stretches beyond the audience's peripheral view. The powerful visual experience is complemented by a state-of-the-art digital surround sound system.
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry returns for his fifth year at Hogwarts and discovers much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about his recent encounter with Lord Voldemort. Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge appoints Professor Dolores Umbridge the infamous position of Defense against the Dark Arts teacher...seemingly leaving the young witches and wizards to fend for themselves. Harry takes matters into his own hands and secretly forms a self-proclaimed group of students, "Dumbledore's Army," prepping them for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: An IMAX 3D Experience has been rated PG-13 for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images. Screenings begin at 11:59PM on Tuesday, July 10 in these Regal Entertainment Group IMAX theatres, listed by market:
