Plano, Texas… Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") will open a 12-screen, all-stadium-seating theatre in Richmond, Kentucky on Friday, November 21st, 2008.

The new Cinemark at Richmond Centre will offer stadium-seating, online ticketing, and a self-serve concession stand providing candy, freshly popped popcorn, and Coca-Cola fountain drinks. In addition, premium concession items will be available including Dreyer’s hand-dipped ice cream, VitaminWater, Icee frozen beverages, nachos, pretzels and Kettle Korn.

“For many years, Richmond has been home to the Cinemark Movies 8 Theatre. Now, with the addition of the new Richmond Centre development, we are excited to introduce our new theatre and a great entertainment destination,” says James Meredith, Vice President of Marketing for Cinemark USA, Inc. “We are committed to offering our customers the best movie-going experience possible.” In the weeks ahead, movie-goers will be able to see some of Hollywood’s hottest new releases, including Twilight, Bolt, Australia, and The Day the Earth Stood Still.

The theatre’s stadium-seating auditoriums will allow patrons to enjoy unobstructed views from plush, high-backed rocking seats featuring a 16-inch height difference between each row. Spacing of 48 inches between each aisle will give movie-goers more leg room and ample space to enter and exit their row without disturbing other guests.

Online ticketing available at www.cinemark.com will make it easy for patrons to purchase tickets in advance from the comfort of their home or office. Customers can then bypass lines at the box office and go directly to a kiosk in the theatre lobby, where they may print their own tickets purchased online using a confirmation number given at the time of purchase. The kiosk also allows ticket purchases via a major credit card or Cinemark gift card. Customers can also sign up to receive weekly e-mails directly from Cinemark which include showtimes, concession stand promotions, advance ticket announcements, and special events information.

Several pre-grand opening activities are planned including a special VIP Night, Thursday, November 20th, with guests from Eastern Kentucky University. The evening will feature free movies, popcorn and soft drinks for everyone.
