The opening ceremony of the ‘Urgoo’ IMAX Theater will be held at 8:00 pm today (22^nd of July) at the ‘Shangri-la’ mall. The first film to be shown at the new cinema will be "Star Trek Beyond", which is being released worldwide today in IMAX format.

At the press conference, John Schreiner, vice president of the IMAX corporation for the Asia-Pacific region, said the “Canadian IMAX company was officially founded in 1967 and the first IMAX 3D film, ‘We Are Born of Stars’, was released in 1985. In 2002, we used the introduction of DMR technology to transform Hollywood films and now produce movies using IMAX cameras. Next year we will celebrate our company’s 50^th anniversary. Mongolia has become the 71st country to install an IMAX theatre. We opened the first IMAX cinema (in the Asia-Pacific Region) in Kyrgyzstan last April”.

A standard IMAX screen is 22m×12m and there is currently no more advanced technology than this in the world. The price of adult tickets is MNT 15000 while children tickets cost MNT 12000. The new ‘Urgoo’ IMAX Theater has five screens, one of which is VIP. There are currently 837 IMAX theatres in 77 countries worldwide.
