D-BOX Reaches 200 Screens Worldwide

New North American Theatres Announced


LONGUEUIL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwire - Oct. 10, 2012) - D-BOX Technologies Inc. (TSX:DBO), a leader in innovative motion technology, announced today new agreements with North American theatre partners, bringing the company's total number of D-BOX screens to 200 worldwide. These new agreements, which increasingly include a portion of upfront payments, are all with existing D-BOX customers and clearly demonstrate the ongoing success of the D-BOX business model.

New theatres already scheduled to open before the end of 2012 include:

  • Cinema RGFM in Joliette, Quebec (a 2nd location and a 1st with two screens)
  • Cinema West Civic Plaza 12 in Hesperia, Calif. (a 6th location)
  • Galaxy Theatre at the Trails in Austin, Texas (a 9th location)
  • O'Neil Cinemas at Brickyard Square in Epping, N.H. (a 3rd location)
  • Santikos Palladium in Houston, Texas (a 5th location and a 1st with two screens)
  • UltraStar Cinemas AK-Chin in Maricopa, Ariz. (an 8th location)

The following table shows the total number of D-BOX screens worldwide, broken down between backlog* screens and installed screens:

As of Oct.10, 2012 Backlog
Screens
Installed
Screens
Total
Screens
Domestic (N.A) 30 127 157
International 10 33 43
TOTAL 40 160 200
* From a practical standpoint, the Corporation defines systems backlog as follows: an order for D-BOX MFX systems received as part of a contractual agreement and for which the installation is scheduled within a twelve-month period.

Given these new orders, as of today there are 29 exhibitors with more than one installed complex integrating the D-BOX technology and there are 14 exhibitors with more than one D-BOX screen within a same complex. These trends reflect not only the overall success of the D-BOX business model but also the growing desire amongst existing exhibitors to present, simultaneously, more than one D-BOX movie in their theatres. Considering its installed base in the commercial theatre market, D-BOX also continues gaining traction in its OEM business segment through a continuous increase of its brand awareness.

"The increase of our worldwide footprint remains steadfast with a healthy combination of new exhibitors and repeat business from existing customers. These trends should definitely be viewed as a true testament to the quality of the D-BOX experience and its success at the box office," said President and CEO of D-BOX Technologies, Claude Mc Master.
