China is an ideal marketplace for large format 3D Motion Picture projects given
the combination of extraordinary locations as well as the boom in both their
film and tourism industries. The China market is the fastest-growing film market
place in the world, with 3,832 new theaters added in 2012. China box office
revenues are up 36% in 2012 making China the second largest film market just
behind the United States. China now has 18 funds specializing in film and
television investment with a combined total of 19 million yuan ($3.01 billion
US). China is also the third most visited destination in the world with 55.98
million overseas visits. Destinations like the Great Wall boast over 10 million
visits annually.
Spectrum Entertainment has an exclusive agreement with Kieth Merrill, an Academy
Award winning Director with a long history of creating successful combinations
of large format motion pictures and IMAX Films at special venue and tourist
destinations. His projects include a dozen IMAX films and theaters at some of
the most iconic destinations in the Unites States, including the Grand Canyon,
Niagara Falls, Yellowstone, Zion National Park, The Alamo and many others. The
business model for China destinations is similar to Kieth Merrill's existing
IMAX and theater project at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center which has generated
over $500 million in revenues since 1984.
Kieth Merrill, who will lead the creative team in developing the film and
theater, said "China offers some of the most amazing visual destinations and
historical locations that are extremely well-suited to the spectacular 3D films
planned for exhibition on The Biggest Movie Screens on Earth. ZZYX's China
relationships will enhance our ability to move this project forward and I am
extremely excited about the opportunity to work with both ZZYX and MPIX."
"We are thrilled about this collaboration as it highlights a key strategic
growth area -- China. The opportunity to create state-of-the-art large format 3D
movies and theater destinations in China is an exciting endeavor. MPIX will work
closely with Spectrum and ZZYX to create secondary revenue streams. We envision
global multi-platform digital content to further leverage our relationships,
media production capabilities and unique monetization platforms and technology,"
says Victor Siegel, President and CEO of MPIX.
ZZYX Entertainment Founder and Chairman of MPIX, Rick Garson, says, " As China
is the world's fastest-growing marketplace, we have focused on the development
of media and entertainment opportunities there. Bringing this model to China is
such a natural way to showcase the grandeur of its many historic national
monuments and world heritage sites. We are honored to be able to work with
Kieth. His expertise in this area, combined with the technical ability of D3D
gives us a unique competitive advantage in this space. Given the size of
marketplace and the number of tourists, this initiative could easily result in
the largest 3D theater in the world, MPIX provides a distribution infrastructure
and platform to enhance projects and expand our current capabilities. This is
truly an exciting time as we are creating a slate of global media events and
projects together."
