NEW BIG SCREEN LAUNCH

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 5/28/10

CONSOLIDATED THEATRES TO LAUNCH NEW
BIG-SCREEN CONCEPT, COINCIDING WITH
PREMIERE OF TOY STORY 3 IN 3D, JUNE 18
New “Titan Extreme Cinema” will provide Ward Stadium 16 moviegoers with an unparalleled theater experience
Consolidated Theatres, Hawai‘i’s premiere cinema circuit, announced today that it will take moviegoing to a new level, with the introduction of the company’s new big-screen experience, Titan Extreme Cinema (“Titan XC”), which will celebrate its grand opening at the Ward Stadium 16 on Friday, June 18, 2010. Coinciding with the release of Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 3 in 3D, Titan Extreme Cinema guests will be treated to a new colossal wall-to-wall movie screen, pristine, eye popping 3D images, ground breaking sound and brand new, first-class leather seating.  One of the theater’s largest auditoriums was completely redesigned to create a worldclass, theater atmosphere.

Consolidated Theatres’ new Titan Extreme Cinema will feature:
Huge Screen: A newly-installed wall-to-wall screen, stretching more than 66 feet wide and 35 feet tall in Titan XC will be the largest commercial movie screen in the state of Hawai‘i.
Pristine Digital Images with Most Advanced 3D: All movies shown in Titan XC will be presented digitally with a new, state-of-art NEC digital projection system, providing Titan moviegoers with striking, vivid images. Additionally, 3D blockbusters will be showcased using the XpanD 3D system, the most sophisticated 3D system available today. Setting itself apart from other 3D systems that use a “passive” polarization process, XpanD’s “active” 3D glasses, allow the lenses to open and close in synchronization with the shutters on the digital projection system and read an infrared signal reflected off the screen to achieve eye-popping 3D images. Consolidated Theatres’ XpanD 3D system is the first of its kind in Hawai‘i. All XpandD 3D glasses are eco-friendly and are washed and sanitized for reuse.
Unsurpassed Sound: Titan XC’s new sound system will feature 7.1 audio channels, powered by a 75,000-watt digital sound system, providing five times the power available at a typical auditorium. To ensure that the pulsating sound emanates from every point in the auditorium, Consolidated Theatres has installed 18 surround speakers in the walls, 14 surround speakers in the ceiling and doubled the number and size of subwoofers. Titan XC will also feature Dolby’s latest cinema innovation, Dolby Surround 7.1, which is a new audio format using eight discrete audio channels to establish four surround zones within the theatre, providing a more exciting sensory experience to audiences and allowing filmmakers more control over exact placement of sounds within the theatre. The first film shown in Titan XC will be Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 3 in 3D, which will also be the first film ever released in Dolby Surround 7.1.
First Class Leather Seats: To ensure the most comfortable viewing experience, Consolidated Theatres will also install all-new leather, rocking seats throughout the theater.
Reserved Seating: For the first time ever, Consolidated Theatres moviegoers will also be able to utilize a new reserved seating amenity, to ensure that getting a seat in Titan XC will be hassle-free. Titan XC guests can reserve their seats online by visiting ConsolidatedTheatres.com or visiting the Ward Stadium16 box office.
