Heya Film Fans!
Flick Chick here, feeling slight pangs of nostalgia as I find out that the cineplex I used to go to after school to satiate my movie addict obesession is closing! But wait.. it’s good thing! It’s a high time that those creaky chairs and dangy halls get an upgrade,nostalgia or not, doncha think?
Mr Mark Shaw, Executive Vice President of Operations, said: “It is a timely makeover for Lido. We had done some minor upgrades over the last decade. When the opportunity came for a complete “re-imagining‟ of our Cineplex, we jumped at it.”He added: “Comfort, convenience and technology are three basic things that cinema-goers look for today. Our patrons can expect the new Shaw Lido to be an entirely new and engaging cinema experience.”
And there’s more! Shaw Lido will present Digital IMAX to local audiences for the very first time! Digital IMAX is considered the ultimate premium movie-going experience as it immerses audiences with unparalleled clarity of picture and sound in both 2D and 3D.
Mr Christopher Shaw, Executive Vice President of Film Distribution, furthered: “Our addition of three more theatres, making it a total of 11, will give audiences more movie choices at any given point in time. We will also have the opportunity to bring exclusive IMAX content to Singapore.”
So here’s the rundown of what is going to happen:
– The Lido Cineplex, located at Shaw House levels 5 & 6 will be closed for renovation from 1 October 2010.
-Patrons of this Cineplex can look forward to a new entertainment experience when it re-opens in April 2011. All other tenants except the Cineplex at levels 5 & 6 of Shaw House remain operational
And amidst all this reno… you guys have a chance to win prizes… thanks to the Shaw Lido Wall Mural Contest!
The renovation of Shaw Lido marks an important milestone for the Cineplex and its patrons. Shaw Theatres hopes to celebrate this occasion with its loyal customers with this contest.
The classic wall mural with movie characters located along the box office queue will be removed. Shaw Theatres would like the public to participate in the contest to bid this signature feature farewell.
