COLUMBUS, Ga. & OPELIKA, Ala. -- (Business Wire)
Carmike
Cinemas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKEC), a leading entertainment, digital
cinema and 3-D motion picture exhibitor, today announced the grand
opening of the new Tiger 13 entertainment complex featuring its ‘BigD’
premium experience in Opelika, Alabama (1900 Capps Landing, Opelika, AL
36804) and Auburn community. The theatre officially opens at 7:00 p.m.
(local time) on Thursday, May 1, 2014. To celebrate the Tiger 13’s
debut, Carmike will feature the highly anticipated premiere of Marvel’s The
Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 3-D and BigD. All guests who visit the
Tiger 13 during the opening weekend celebration will also enjoy a
special concessions promotion that includes a medium drink and
popcorn for just $5.00 (valid until close of business Sunday, May 4th,
2014).
The new 13-screen theatre seats over 2,800 guests in luxurious comfort
and all auditoriums in the leading-edge entertainment complex are
equipped with stadium seating, comfortable high-back rocking luxury
seats, retractable armrests and convenient cup holders. The BigD,
Carmike’s premium large screen format experience auditorium, seats 580
patrons. All auditoriums in the Tiger 13 contain large, wall-to-wall
screens, DLP digital projection and digital surround sound.
The facility’s upscale lobby contains multiple concession areas
featuring self-serve Coca-Cola Freestyle drink centers, which pour more
than 100 customized fountain drink varieties. One-stop ticketing is
included in the lobby allowing cinemagoers to escape the elements while
purchasing their tickets and favorite concessions at the same
transaction point. The new complex also provides special services for
visually and hearing impaired patrons using Sony Closed Captioning
glasses (CC) as well as descriptive and amplified audio (VI & HI).
“At each Carmike location we are committed to bringing our guests the
ultimate entertainment experience through large format digital
projection with bigger screens, better sound, and the finest in-theatre
seating which ensures a cutting-edge presentation each and every time,”
stated David Passman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Carmike
Cinemas. “We are extremely pleased to bring this exceptional
entertainment complex to Opelika and the Auburn community, while
providing our valued guests with superior cinema-going entertainment. It
is exciting to have Opelika join a select list of communities offering
Carmike’s uniquely immersive BigD large screen experience.”
All BigDauditoriums have wall-to-wall screens with Opelika being
no exception. The new BigD screen at the Tiger 13 measures 81 feet wide
by three stories tall. To further enhance the premium experience, a
custom QSC digital audio system is tuned to a 7.1 speaker array with 16
channels, upgradeable to 11.1 surround sound. This system is a true
revolution in sound technology, with digital audio processing supported
by quad-amplified, 4-way speakers, and 21-inch subwoofers. The BigD is
powered by a cutting-edge Christie Brilliant 3-D flash projector, which
also presents 2-D entertainment. The end result is a light output of
30,000 lumens, creating a picture quality with noticeably higher
resolution than HD.
