Financing Package Takes Shape for More 3-D Screens

Details of a prospective financing package for the deployment of 14,000 new digital theater screens are beginning to emerge. The long anticipated build-up by the Digital Cinema Implementation Partners – a consortium operated by the AMC, Cinemark and Regal theater chains – will allow theaters to increase the number of 3-D screens beyond the 5,100 total that has been projected by this year’s end.
