Georgetown: It hasn’t even been completed yet and MovieTowne Guyana is already sending a clear message that it is all about bringing world class entertainment to the land of many waters.
The construction of this ‘Mecca for movie lovers’ has been attracting the attention of a whole host of internationally recognised entertainment franchises.
Recently added to the Cineplex’s already impressive list of tenants, is the world famous, Hard Rock Café.
The Hard Rock Café franchise has under its belt, 191 locations that spread across every continent, in 75 tourism-driven countries.
The Café, which has even been featured in high ranking films, is now eagerly gearing up to be part of the immensely magical MovieTowne experience.
In the coming months, this massive Cineplex is expected to take Guyana by storm, satisfying every craving for clean, classy, family-oriented entertainment.
Since its 2002 establishment in Trinidad and Tobago, MovieTowne has become a well-loved phenomenon, with thousands of dedicated patrons.
In addition to captivating the senses of entertainment-loving Guyanese, the Cineplex is also predicted to be a massive boost to Guyana’s economy.
Guyana-born Chairman of Multicinemas Incorporated, Derek Chin said that in addition to creating hundreds of jobs, MovieTowne is guaranteed to have tremendous impacts on the country’s tourism industry, just as it has managed to transform that of Trinidad and Tobago.
“We are already seeing evidence of this. The Hard Rock Café is just one of the many international brands anticipating exposure to the Guyana market, and we are at the forefront of ensuring that this happens in the most flattering way possible,” Chin said.
The internationally recognised business tycoon noted too that even in its unfinished state, MovieTowne Guyana has already become a massive attraction, with large numbers of persons visiting the location to take pictures and inquire about the complex’s opening date.
While the multibillion dollar initiative was unveiled about seven years ago, it took the company some time to finalize all the details attached to embarking on such a mammoth project.
Initially pegged at US$30M, the state-of-the-art Cineplex has now approached a massive US$45M. According to Chin, a series of expansions were added to the project’s original designs. The investment is seen as the largest private sector undertaking in recent years.
“Whatever the cost, Guyana is worth the investment,” Chin maintained.
This ultra-modern complex is ideally positioned on 10 acres of prime land, with a 200,000-plus square foot building, standing fascinatingly along the East Coast Demerara corridor.
MovieTowne Guyana will be outfitted with eight state-of-the-art screens, equipped with the technology needed for patrons to lose themselves in the magic of every film.
The incredibly luxurious seating would add a distinct flare of comfort that can only be experienced at a MovieTowne cinema.
A number of immensely popular local, regional and international restaurant franchises just like the Hard Rock Café, have already signed on to “set up shop” within the complex.
These incredibly diverse eateries would be sure to bait any appetite, tantalize every taste bud, and leave every patron longing for more.
Among the attractions also, would be a 60,000-square foot Massy Stores Super Centre, one of the largest in the Caribbean.
Overall, MovieTowne Guyana would boast of a vibrant and competitively-priced shopping mall that would allow shoppers to be lavish without breaking the bank.
Even more exciting, are the plans to install exhilarating amusement rides, enchanting for all age groups.
MovieTowne Guyana is expected to add a spectacular facelift to Guyana’s ever-evolving entertainment industry – satisfying the nation’s appetite for sheer brilliance.
