Get your eyeballs ready! IMAX will be installing another 15 of their highfalutin' theaters throughout China, in a new joint-venture with South Korea's CJ GGV Holdings Ltd. No doubt eager to cater to the country's growing numbers of cinema-goers that every silver-haired media bigwig worth their salt wants a piece of, IMAX will be installing the first of its theaters this year, with the rest to be rolled out between 2013 to 2017. more ›
