IMAX Planning Expansion into Vietnam

February 11, 2015.

Vietnam’s status as an emerging market and hotspot for economic growth has not been lost on IMAX.

The Toronto-based company has partnered with Korean media group CJ CGV to evaluate opportunities for expansion in Asia. IMAX intends to start off by bringing two of its trademark large screens to Vietnam with the first confirmed location being a real estate development in Ho Chi Minh City. IMAX will continue to work with CJ CGV to expand and strengthen the IMAX brand in the Asia Pacific region to surpass its two largest markets China and the US.
