See it Real with New RealD 3D Screens - Coming to Nu Metro Cinemas

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve signed an amended agreement with RealD, Inc. to install up to 100 RealD 3D Cinema Systems in our cinemas. We currently have 44 cinemas equipped with RealD 3D technology, and we plan to install a further 41 soon. More will follow over the next 18 months as we convert all of our cinemas.

Our Content Executive, Mark Harris, says that “with over a quarter of our cinemas already having undergone the conversion, the remainder will be completed within the next 12 to 18 months. This extended relationship with RealD enables us to deliver cutting edge 3D technology, so we can offer a fully immersive entertainment experience to our customers, every time.”

RealD Europe’s Robert Mayson, Managing Director, said “Nu Metro Cinemas is a progressive circuit with a focus on delivering a premium entertainment experience. From Africa’s largest RealD 3D screen at Nu Metro Montecasino to PrivĂ© seating for a luxury cinema experience, this expansion of 3D capability will allow more South African moviegoers than ever to experience the upcoming blockbuster movies in RealD 3D.”

This is another premium experience we can offer, adding to our growing list:
  • Africa’s largest RealD 3D screen, a 23,5 m behemoth, is at Nu Metro Montecasino in Johannesburg.
  • Africa’s first all-digital and RealD 3D-enabled cineplex opened in November, 2009 at Nu Metro Emperors Palace, also in Johannesburg.
  • Selected 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ matches were broadcast live and in RealD 3D to 14 Nu Metro cinemas around the country in June of 2010.
  • Nu Metro showed Bokkie, a short film featuring its namesake, the South African Rugby Union’s Mascot, exclusively, in July, 2010, at all of our RealD 3D cinemas, before every 3D movie.
  • The music video for The Parlotones’ single, Should We Fight Back (part of the “Stardust Galaxies” album), was also shown exclusively on all Nu Metro Cinemas’ RealD 3D screens before the 3D dance spectacular, Step Up 3. (The next film in this series hits screens on August 17, 2012!)
  • Continuing the innovation, Nu Metro and The Parlotones broadcast the world’s first live 3D rock theatre production, Dragonflies and Astronauts, into Nu Metro RealD 3D cinemas across the country.
