"We are very proud to continue our expansion with UltraStar Cinemas who was the first exhibitor chain to sign on with D-BOX," said President and Chief Executive Officer of D-BOX Technologies, Claude Mc Master. "About this time last year we were preparing to debut the first D-BOX theatrical system to the public at their Arizona location and now audiences throughout North America, and even Japan, can enjoy the D-BOX experience."
"The team here at UltraStar Cinemas could not be more pleased with our partnership with D-BOX. After almost a full year of operating D-BOX's motion system in my theatres, I can truly say that this is a technology that has made an impact and a difference in our business. Our current installations successfully draw guests from miles around, and continue to generate additional income. It only made business sense to expand our D-BOX offering," said Damon Rubio, Executive Vice President of Operations UltraStar Cinemas.
