IMAX Corporation and CGV have agreed to upgrade three existing CGV/IMAX locations in Vietnam to the IMAX with Laser system, starting in 2027. The locations in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi will be retrofitted with the new technology, ensuring the entire CGV/IMAX network in the country operates on the laser platform. This move aims to enhance the cinematic experience for audiences with crystal-clear 4K images and precision audio.

Vietnam has become a key growth market for IMAX in Southeast Asia, driven by a robust local-language film industry and strong demand for premium experiences. The company achieved its best-ever performance in the country in 2025, generating nearly $6 million in box office revenue. This growth was supported by the release of the first Vietnamese-language IMAX titles, including "Money Kisses" and "A Gift From Heaven."

The IMAX network in Vietnam has expanded significantly, doubling from 2022 to reach eight locations currently. The latest agreement adds at least three more sites to the development backlog, reinforcing the company's commitment to the region. Preetham Daniel, VP of Theatre Development for India, Korea, South East Asia and Australasia at IMAX, highlighted the partnership with CGV as a critical factor in delivering top-tier experiences to Vietnamese audiences.

IMAX with Laser represents the company's most advanced cinema technology, designed for maximum immersion. The system features state-of-the-art projection capabilities and audio enhancements, setting a new standard for moviegoing. As of March 31, 2026, IMAX operates 1,865 systems across 91 countries and territories.
