The return of the largest cinema screen in Singapore will be marked by the return of the biggest movie of this decade, as James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water returns for a special one-week screening in IMAX 3D at the newly refurbished Shaw Lido in Singapore’s Orchard Road.
Shaw Theatres’ Lido gave local audiences its first IMAX movie screen in 2011, and while there have been several smaller improvements made over the years, including the upgrade to IMAX Laser in 2022, 2025 will mark the location’s biggest overhaul, which adds new screens for all halls including IMAX, upgrade from Xenon projection to Laser for the other movie halls and a new lobby in the first phase. The remaining halls are also being renovated as part of Phase 2 of the upgrade, as one of the region’s biggest names in cinemas continues to challenge the recent downsizing of the industry as competitors including Cathay and Filmgarde shutter.
The return of The Way of the Water, the long-awaited 2022 sequel to 2009’s hit, Avatar, will also serve as a refresher for the upcoming sequel, Avatar: Fire and Ash, directed by Cameron, with returning leads Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana. The original film currently sits at the top of the global box-office as the highest grossing movie of all time, at US$2.9 billion, while the sequel, at $2.3 billion, sits at number three on the all-time list, and is currently the highest grossing film of the decade.
To celebrate this cinematic milestone of a new IMAX screen and the upcoming Avatar sequel, Geek Culture will be giving away 30 exclusive pairs of tickets to this 3D event, and the only time fans can catch The Way of Water, in a brand new IMAX hall and still Singapore’s largest cinematic screen.
