Robinsons GenSan Movieworld going 3D!!!
Just when Bariles thought that it would take years before General Santos City would have its own 3D-equipped moviehouse due to the influx of 3D versions of films like Avatar, How to Train your Dragon, and Clash of the Titans, among others, comes this piece of great news!
Robinsons Movieworld, one of the largest movie theater chains in the Philippines, joins the 3D movie boom as it “fast-tracks the conversion of existing theaters, from one 3D-equipped screen (in Robinsons Movieworld Galleria), to at least a total of nine”, according to a Philippine Star report yesterday.
It then proceeds to name the mall’s branches which will be equipped with one 3D Cinema each, including General Santos City!!!!
Robinsons GenSan Movieworld is the first to bring into the city modern theater equipment such as high-fidelity sound from THX, Dolby and Sony and film production equiment from Christie and Strong of the US and Kinoton of Germany. It also introduced to the generals moviegoing niceties such as fully carpeted theaters, wide semi-reclining upholstered seats, maximized legroom and uber clean restrooms! All these enhanced the moviegoing experience of movie addicts, like Bariles.
Nilo Mapa, GM of Robinsons Malls, who was in GenSan for its opening last year (click here for photos of the opening) explained that their 3D theaters will be equipped with the leading technologies Dolby Digital 3D and MasterImage Digital 3D.
When this materializes, then that would make Robinsons Place GenSan their first and only mall with a 3D Cinema in Mindanao. And for the record, it will be South Central Mindanao‘s first, too! WoW! Bariles could just imagine moviegoers from all over lining up to watch the next 3D movie here without having to go to Davao anymore.
Anyway, the movies to watch for in 3D at the Robinsons GenSan Movieworld 3D Cinema are Toy Story 1 & 2, Shrek Forever After, Toy Story 3, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, and Despicable Me.
3D moviegoing experience in GenSan? Can’t wait! Thanks Robinsons for making this happen soon!
Now, aren’t you glad you’re from GenSan?

That is good news, indeed! I can’t wait. However, it won’t be the first in Mindanao since SM Davao already has a 3D Cinema.

@Tuesdy, that is not what I meant. It is Robinsons first and only 3D moviehouse in Mindanao.

@roro, kaya dapat ang local government, investor-friendly para pumasok ang competition sa kinasasakupan niyang lugar.

SM City Davao already has a 3D cinema. there have been at least two movies shown so far, “how to train your dragon” and “clash of the titans”.
I also heard that Victoria Plaza Davao also has 3D cinema. the movie was “shark boy”, i think.
hehe… ang saya naman dumadami na ang 3D cinemas in Mindanao.

at least naisip nila na butangan ang gensan…
hope people would patronize that also…
and the government would do better to invite more investors in the city…

kung ang current ticket fee sa robinsons movieworld is P81, so mutaas pa ang rate ani kung may 3D na?
Posted on April 24th, 2010 at 8:30 PM
white knight Says:
Well, anyway kahit mataas sya compared sa regular rate nila na P81 hindi pa rin tayo lugi di ba since andito nga lang sa ating place. we dont need to go far places just to watch & experience 3D effects. Salamat sa robinsons for bringing this state of the art technology in gensan.
