Wereldhave N.V.: New generation of cinema to open in Itis
07 December 2016 - 6:30PM
Wereldhave Finland has reached an agreement with
Finnkino to open a 9 screen cinema in its shopping centre Itis in
Helsinki, Finland with an anticipated opening at the end of 2018.
The cinema with a unique concept for Finland will be the first in
East Helsinki and it will be an excellent addition to the leisure
offer at Itis.
Finnkino is the market leader in Finland with 98
screens in 14 cinemas in 11 cities. Finnkino is part of Nordic
Cinema Group, the market leader in the Nordics, with 469 screens in
6 countries, amongst which is the recently opened cinema in the
mall of Scandinavia in Stockholm.
"This is good news for Wereldhave, as it will
change the entire nature of Itis shopping centre, adding to the
attractiveness of the centre and creating a solid basis to further
improve the food and beverage and leisure offer. It will clearly
enhance Itis's status as the leading shopping centre in Finland",
says Dirk Anbeek, CEO of Wereldhave.
"Our estimate is that footfall of the centre will
increase with at least 500,000 visitors per year, which will reach
17m visitors at the end of 2016", says Director of operations
Richard Belt at Wereldhave Finland Oy.
"We are very excited to be opening a new state of the art cinema in
the Itis shopping mall. We see large potential in the Eastern part
of Helsinki and we are planning a totally new generation of
cinema", says Veronica Lindholm, CEO of Finnkino.
