After conducting a serious analysis of the market for modern cinema technologies and premium concepts and a number of meetings and presentations with representatives of manufacturing companies and major integrators, we selected CinemaNext Russia and their Sphera premium cinema offering, which best fit our business needs. This will be the first Sphera cinema in Russia and it will open in the capital of the Chechen Republic, which is currently in the midst of a modern urban redevelopment. We look forward to bringing this experience to audiences and are confident that Sphera will strengthen the Kinostar brand and drive strong business results as the industry recovers and develops in the post-pandemic market."
