Article Summary
HOLD- Disney (NYSE: DIS) introduced Infinity Vision, a new certification for premium large-format theaters that promises big screens, bright images, and outstanding sound ahead of Avengers: Doomsday's December 18 release.
- Walt Disney Company created the label to differentiate itself from IMAX, which uses proprietary technology and largely decides which movies play on its roughly 400 North American screens, and to counter competition around a single Friday in December.
- Disney announced Infinity Vision in April at CinemaCon, but it is not hardware-based and is basically a stamp of approval applied to premium screens already in existence.
- The certification will roll out first with the September re-release of Endgame before Doomsday arrives in December, with more than 75 domestic and 300 global theaters already approved.
