Kinepolis will spend zl. 120 mln for Poznan megaplex

Before the end of 2000 Kinepolis Polska wants to open the biggest megaplex in Poland. The venture will cost zl. 120 million and will be built on eight hectares in Poznan. Megaplex is a fourth generation cinema center equipped with at least 16 screens and over 5,000 seats. The Poznan-based megaplex will hold 7,847 viewers and will be furnished with 20 screens. "It will be one of the biggest multiplexes in Europe," said Kinepolis president Artur Nowakowski. The company plans to build other multiplexes in Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow, Wroclaw and probably Szczecin. According to Kina Polskie president Zbigniew -migrodzki there is no reason for such a great number of multiplexes in Poland "Ticket prices and poor access for people from small towns and villages is an obstacle here," he says.
