                   CINEWORLD GROUP PLC SIGNS DEAL WITH REAL D
                     TO REVOLUTIONISE THE CINEMA EXPERIENCE
                        BY BRINGING 3D TO ITS CUSTOMERS


Cineworld Group plc, which has the largest portfolio of digital screens of any
cinema operator in the UK, has today signed a deal with REAL D to bring 3D to
its customers. REAL D is the world leader in 3D technology.


The deal will see Cineworld introduce 3D projection into its digital cinema
portfolio to create the largest 3D estate in the UK. REAL D 3D systems will
initially be installed into 30 of Cineworld's 72 digital auditoria and the
roll-out will coincide with the release of Beowulf on 16 November 2007. The deal
will see Cineworld continue to add REAL D systems to bring the most advanced 3D
experience to its moviegoers as Cineworld finalises its deals with studios on
the business terms of digital deployment.


Steve Wiener, CEO of Cineworld Group plc, said, 'This is a significant deal for
Cineworld and one which will revolutionise the cinema experience for our
moviegoers across the country. We could see as many as 100 Real D screens once
our digital platform is in place.' Wiener added, 'The impact of 3D on the film
industry can be compared to the move from black and white to colour. After
reviewing all of the latest technologies in the market we are delighted to be
partnering with REAL D in spearheading the UK's move to 3D. '


DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. announced its intention to produce all of its
films in 3D starting in 2009. Visionary filmmakers including Robert Zemeckis,
James Cameron, and Peter Jackson have embraced 3D as a natural enhancement to
their cinematic storytelling. In addition, George Lucas, the creator of Star
Wars, announced his intention to remaster the original Star Wars movies in
digital 3D, although no date has been set at this stage.


Joseph Peixoto, President, REAL D Worldwide Cinema said, 'This marks an
important step in REAL D's international expansion. Cineworld has the largest
digital estate of any cinema operator in the UK so it is a natural fit for us.
The rapid growth of 3D content mastered in digital format has led to an exciting
and totally new 3D experience for cinema viewers and we look forward to working
with Cineworld to bring greater reach of 3D to the UK.'
