These 12 new theatres will utilize the IMAX digital projection system to showcase Hollywood blockbusters that have been digitally re-mastered into the unique image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience as well as original documentary-style IMAX content. Films are projected on a specially-designed screen that is slightly curved and moved forward to further immerse the audience. Images of exceptional quality, combined with IMAX's proprietary digital surround sound system and patented theatre geometry create "The IMAX Experience," making audiences feel as if they are IN the movie.

In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, all of the loveable characters are back – Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins. Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane — sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all — the vast plains of Africa, where the members of our zoo-raised crew encounter species of their own kind for the very first time. Africa seems like a great place…but is it better than their Central Park home? Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa: The IMAX Experience has been rated PG for some mild crude humor.

With proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology, several of today’s biggest Hollywood releases, including The Dark Knight, 300, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Spider-Man 3 and many others have been converted into IMAX’s immersive format and presented in IMAX theatres. The IMAX versions of these films have been met with excellent consumer response and critical acclaim. Upcoming Hollywood movies to be released in IMAX’s format include: "The Day the Earth Stood Still” (December 2008); "Monsters vs. Aliens” (March 2009) and "The Watchmen” (March 2009).

Regal IMAX Theatres also offer IMAX® 3D. When filmmakers choose to integrate IMAX 3D into their movies, images leap off of the screen and into the laps of the audience, further enhancing the feeling of being IN the movie. This is made possible by a combination of IMAX’s powerful 3D projection system – which simultaneously projects two separate images onto the IMAX screen – and polarized IMAX 3D glasses that audience members wear to fuse the two images into a single three-dimensional motion picture. The result is an amazing IMAX 3D Experience where the screen disappears and the movie envelopes the audience.

Regal Entertainment Group theatres reward frequent guests through the Regal Crown Club. More than 12-million moviegoers have joined this industry-leading loyalty program. Through the Regal Crown Club patrons accumulate credits at the box office and concession stand to earn free popcorn, soft drinks and movies. Free membership is available at the theatre or online.
