New Century Branded Multiplex Located in the Tucson Marketplace at the Bridges Will Feature New Luxury Lounger Recliners, Cinemark’s NextGen Cinema Design Concept, and XD Auditorium

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the world's leading motion picture exhibitors, announced plans to construct a Century branded, 14-screen, all-digital movie theatre that will feature Luxury Lounger reclining chairs in all auditoriums at the Tucson Marketplace at the Bridges, located at the northwest intersection of Interstate 10 and South Kino Parkway. The new theatre is scheduled to open in summer of 2016.

“Cinemark currently operates five theatres under our Century brand in the Tucson, Oro Valley and Sierra Vista market,” commented Tim Warner, Cinemark's Chief Executive Officer. "Our new NextGen theatre located at the Tucson Marketplace will be the first complex in Tucson to offer guests our Luxury Lounger recliners and should quickly become recognized as one of the best places in the area to enjoy a great movie-going experience.”

"The City of Tucson is very pleased that Cinemark has chosen to locate in our community," stated Vice Mayor Richard Fimbres (Ward 5). “This new luxurious theatre will join the already successful Costco and Walmart providing an excellent entertainment venue as well as employment opportunities. In addition we are excited that the theatre will be another step towards bringing other tenants to the Tucson Marketplace in the coming months. The City looks forward to working with Cinemark & Eastbourne Investments to ensure that the complex is successfully completed."

“Having Cinemark join the Tucson Marketplace marks another milestone for the Tucson Marketplace at the Bridges,” said Frank Egan, President of Eastbourne Investments, who is developing the project along with Retail West Properties of Boise, ID and Land Advisors Organization of Scottsdale. “We are currently negotiating with other entertainment and retail uses to complement Cinemark and fulfill our vision for the site that has been in process for over a decade.”
