Imax Signs Record Intl Theater Deal In Encore To AMC Pact 3:45 PM EDT March 10, 2008
By Andy Georgiades Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
TORONTO (Dow Jones)--Imax Corp.'s (IMAX) 35-theater deal with RACIMEC International Group of Brazil, its biggest international theater-system pact to date, may have been a lot smaller if not for the 100-system deal with AMC Entertainment. "We were discussing a much-smaller deal with them, but when they saw the AMC deal and they saw how quickly these zones could go away with the stroke of a pen, they came to us and said 'Let's do a much larger deal,' " said Imax co-Chief Executive Richard Gelfond. Imax, known for its large-format film screens, appears to have the wind at its back. Its new digital-projection system, which isn't scheduled to be rolled out until later this year, has already yielded two mega deals: a 100-theater deal with AMC in the U.S. in December, and now a 35-theater deal with RACIMEC for the South and Central America region. Gelfond wouldn't comment on the pact's value, but a person familiar with the deal said it could be worth more than $40 million, plus $3.5 million a year in recurring revenue once all the theaters are open. The RACIMEC pact, which calls for the theaters to be installed by the end of 2014, will give Imax a big boost in the area, where it has three Imax theaters open and another seven in backlog. In 2005, Imax signed a deal with the company for three theaters, two in Chile and one in Venezuela, all of which are expected to open in mid-2009. Gelfond said South America wasn't a region where Imax intended to sign joint-venture theater arrangements, in which Imax gives the system in return for a slice of the box-office revenue, so finding a partner willing to "put up the capital and build out that area quickly" is beneficial to the company. As a developer, RACIMEC will do deals with exhibitors and mall operators and develop that market, Gelfond explained. Separately, Gelfond said the company is on track with its plans for digital, which calls for the first three systems to be installed by the end of June, three more a month later, and a broader rollout beginning late in the third quarter. He confirmed a trade report that said Imax is in negotiations with Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) to use its DLP (digital light processing) chips in Imax's digital projector. "I confirm that we're in detailed negotiations and I would expect an announcement shortly," he said. On Nasdaq Monday, Imax is up 16 cents to $6.50 on 88,000 shares. It traded as high as $6.91 earlier in the session. Company Web Site: http://www.imax.com

Imax, Regal Cinemas in Joint Venture Deal to Put Imax Digital Systems in Some Theaters
NEW YORK (AP) -- Imax Corp. and Regal Cinemas Inc. said Monday they signed a joint venture deal that will put 31 Imax digital systems in 20 of Regal's U.S. locations. Both companies will share the costs and profits of the new theaters.
The new agreement will give Regal 38 theaters with Imax digital systems and creates 52 Regal-operated Imax theaters by the end of 2010.
The first theaters under the new deal are set to open in November prior to the Nov. 21 debut of "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: The Imax Experience."

nice move today back over 7 again. good buy on dips. financing for their 100's of theater intstall in place now..
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES IMAX Corp. (IMAX) has entered into two financing transactions largely to fund its digital projection roll-out, scheduled to start in the summer. The Toronto film-presentation company said one financing is with Wachovia Capital Finance Corp. to increase future availability and modify other terms under its existing credit facility. It said the other financing is with the Douglas family, IMAX's largest shareholder, for the sale of about 2.73 million common shares in a private placement for $18 million. It said Wachovia has extended IMAX's credit facility to Oct. 31, 2010, removes an EBITDA maintenance covenant if the company maintains certain minimum liquidity requirements, and is likely to increase the company's borrowing base. It said the placement was made at $6.60 a share. The company said the Douglas family will own 19.9% of IMAX shares after the placement and has agreed to a five-year standstill whereby it will refrain from certain activities, such as increasing its percentage ownership and entering into various arrangements with the company, such as fundamental or change-of-control transactions. -John Moritsugu, 416-306-2100; AskNewswires*dowjones.com

Theatres around here are half empty most the time.. Unless its a big big release weekend, no one affords theatres anymore... IMAX is the place to be for the big ones though.. just seems like everyone is pinched for money though.

well after going down to almost 2.50 with the market crash late last year, it's back to 8.50. still good for more upside it think. bought more in the 2's',3's and 4's. sold a little at 7 and 8. The next earnings report should be key for continued upside.
