Imax not seeing recession pain at box office: CEO

TORONTO – Giant-screen cine theater aggregation Imax Corp is not seeing the recession accident its box-office performance, its arch controlling said on Thursday.

"It seems that consumers are accommodating to pay a premium price for a exceptional experience, alike in this environment," Richard Gelfond told Reuters in an interview. "I would be afraid to see the bread-and-butter factors affect our box appointment unless (the environment) materially worsens."
