PVR Cinemas announces tie-up with Oma Cinema of France

The announcement was made at CinemaCon 2022 in Las Vegas which is the largest and most important gathering of movie theatre owners from around the world.

Oma Cinema was created by renowned French architect Pierre Chican, who has designed some of the most cutting-edge cinemas in France over the last 30 years.

Inspired by the design of the great theatres and opera houses, Oma Cinema’s unique tiered balconies, or “pods”, enable viewers to enjoy a unique, sociable, cinema experience whilst enjoying a perfect view of the screen.

Pierre Chican, Founder and President of Oma Cinema, said: “We are excited to bring about the unique and proprietary concept of Cinema pods to India with this exclusive tie up with PVR. Our designs ensure that each pod within an auditoria is unique and designed to perfection. The world of films and fantasy now has another feather in their cap!”.

With many jewels in their crown, Oma shall hold a special place which cannot be replicated or created due to the unique Intellectual property created by Pierre Chican.

“As a leading out-of-home entertainment destination, we are keen on building cinemas with more experiential elements which is not possible in a home environment setting. Besides the most advanced cinematic technology, we have always been on the forefront of design architecture and innovative concepts, to ensure that our patrons get to experience the magic of movies and create happy memories every time they visit the cinemas," said Pramod Arora, Chief Growth and Strategy Officer, PVR Limited.

"An option to have a private movie party with friends and family, OMA pods shall be your own space offering an unmatched bespoke experience of watching a film on a very large screen alongside specially crafted F&B options. Many corporates have been used to their own box at sporting events in stadia and now they shall have an option to have one in a cinema too!” he said.

PVR has recently launched India’s First Rooftop Drive-in Theatre at Jio World Drive in Mumbai in association with Reliance Jio Drive-In as well as Maison PVR, the House of PVR, a 6 screen uber-luxury multiplex cinema in Mumbai with three intrinsically designed concepts.
