Oscar for Distribution and Theaters, a prominent player in Egypt’s cinema industry, has partnered with France’s Ōma Cinema to unveil Egypt’s first Ōma theater, marking a significant milestone in the launch of Beam Cinemas, their newest cinema chain. This collaboration is set to transform the cinematic experience in the region, with the first flagship multiplex to be established at the TANZA entertainment destination.
This development signals a new chapter for Oscar for Distribution and Theaters, leveraging its extensive legacy in the Egyptian film sector to introduce Beam Cinemas as a premium cinema brand. Positioned as a cornerstone of the expansive TANZA project—spanning 250,000 square meters and backed by Magic Land Al-Hokair alongside Egyptian Media Production City—the multiplex aims to set new standards for luxury and immersive cinema experiences in Egypt. With investments reaching EGP 12 billion, TANZA is poised to become one of the largest entertainment hubs in the Middle East, featuring diverse attractions and entertainment zones.
The exclusive agreement with Ōma Cinema introduces their innovative “vertical” design to the Egyptian market, offering a unique alternative to traditional cinema layouts through its distinctive “pod” architecture. Pierre Chican, CEO of Ōma Cinema, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the potential to elevate audience expectations with Oscar for Distribution and Theaters as an ideal collaborator.
This strategic integration of Ōma’s auditorium design is a key component of Oscar’s expansion strategy for Beam Cinemas. Loaye Abdalla, Managing Director at Oscar for Distribution and Theaters, emphasized the significance of this partnership in combining their established reputation with cutting-edge innovation to position Beam Cinemas as an industry frontrunner from the outset.
Oscar for Distribution and Theaters, a division of the Oscar Group, is a major force in the Egyptian media landscape, with extensive operations in film production, distribution, and theater exhibition. The group boasts one of the world’s largest Arabic content libraries and continues to drive the national entertainment industry forward. The Beam Cinemas multiplex, featuring the exclusive Ōma auditorium, is scheduled to open next year as part of the TANZA development.
