Omniplex cinema rolls out digital 3D in Galway
June 2009 - The Omniplex Cinema in Galway, along with its sister cinemas across Ireland, will be the first in the country to lead the way in the digital 3D revolution.
The following feature films will be available in Galway in digital 3D format during the remainder of 2009:
Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (opening July 3), G-force (July 31), Final Destination (August 28), Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (September 18), Toy Story (October 2), Up (October 16), A Christmas Carol (November 6), and Avatar (December 18).
Through Omniplex’s providers Digital Cinema Limited, Omniplex will use the latest BARCO digital projection equipment with MASTERIMAGE 3D technology for the above films. Audiences viewing a film presented in Masterimage 3D will be given a pair of plastic 3D glasses to watch each film. There will be a total of 13 digital 3D feature films released in 2009 and this number will increase by 50 per cent in 2010.
3D is the technology everyone is talking about. Film maker Ridley Scott recently said: “I’ve seen some of James Cameron’s work on Avatar, and I’ve got to go 3D. It’s going to be phenomenal.” Cameron, alongside a raft of industry leaders, is a long time advocate for 3D, as a more involving experience and an unpiratable one.

Austria embraces 3D technology
June 2009 - 3D service company RealD has signed a deal with Austrian exhibitor Cineplexx to equip around half of its 200 cinema screens with 3D capabilities. The rollout will start with 15 screens, with an additional 45 due to be upgraded to 3D by the end of September. The remainder will be equipped within a year. The aggressive expansion could see the much smaller Austria (population 8 million) overtake its much larger neighbor Germany (pop. 80 million) in the 3D race. Germany still has fewer than 100 3D-capable screens.
Germany has lagged behind much of Europe in its embrace of 3D technology as exhibitors, distributors and state-funding bodies bicker over how the cost of upgrading should be shared. Earlier this week, German multiplex operator CineStar announced an initiative with RealD to immediately upgrade 10 of its German theaters to 3D.
