New Opening secured in Mailbox, Birmingham
Everyman, a leading UK cinema chain, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to open a new Everyman cinema in Birmingham's premier lifestyle and shopping destination, 'The Mailbox'. Everyman expects to open a three screen, 12,000 sq. ft. cinema in the latter part of 2014.
Everyman currently operates 10 cinemas across London, the South East and Leeds. Everyman at The Mailbox will be the Company's first cinema in the Midlands, bringing the brand's signature style and focus on hospitality to Birmingham with sofa seating, stylish bar and lounge areas and 'rustle-free' food.
The cinema will offer the very latest in digital projection with Sony Digital 4K projectors and 3D capabilities, to screen a carefully selected and varied programme of quality films and special events including live theatre and opera.
Everyman at The Mailbox will also feature a fully licensed bar with fine wines, champagnes, beers and cocktails, as well as an enhanced food offering.
Andrew Myers, CEO of the Company said; "At Everyman we select our locations incredibly carefully. We've been really impressed with the redevelopment plans and the quality and mix of brands already on board, which makes The Mailbox the perfect fit for us to launch our first Midlands venue."
The cinema is set to open in late 2014, with the full redevelopment of The Mailbox completed in early 2015.
