Cinema fans in Wimbledon are in for a treat following news the town’s Odeon is to get an Imax screen.
The cinema in The Broadway is one of two theatres in the capital in line for the installation of an Imax digital production system. The second is the Odeon in Greenwich and both are scheduled to be completed in December this year.
Rupert Gavin, CEO of Odeon Cinemas, said: "The economical advantages of Imax’s new digital projection system combined with the ongoing success of our existing Imax theatre in Manchester has made the decision to expand our Imax footprint very easy.”
He added: “We look forward to continued success with Imax, and we are optimistic about future growth opportunities following the opening of our new Imax theatres in Odeon Greenwich and Odeon Wimbledon."
