Ster-Kinekor<\/a> announced in a press statement issued on Tuesday, 3 September 2013, that has completed an agreement with Imax<\/a> corporation to install an Imax theatre at Ster-Kinekor Gateway by November 2013.<\/p>\n

Construction of the Durban theatre is set to start during September 2013, Ster-Kinekor said.<\/p>\n

According to Ster-Kinekor, Gateway is its flagship \u2013\u00a0and most successful \u2013\u00a0cinema complex.<\/p>\n

However, Ster-Kinekor said it is already considering some of its other sites that could accommodate the larger, floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall screen and complex infrastructure that the Imax format requires.<\/p>\n

The first Imax theatre will be finished in time for the international release of Thor: The Dark World, Ster-Kinekor said.<\/p>\n

It will be followed by the second film in the Hunger games trilogy, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and then The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith more than 25 full-length feature films expected to enjoy an Imax release during 2014, we are looking forward to what is going to be a very big year for Ster-Kinekor with Imax\u2019s immersive format,\u201d said Fiaz Mahomed<\/a>, CEO of Ster-Kinekor Theatres.<\/p>\n
