After Nairobi Half Life, What’s Next For Nakumatt’s Planet Media?

I told you a while back that Nairobi Half Life would now be sold exclusively in all Nakumatts in the country!

The DVD was launched recently in a ceremony at Nakumatt Mega that saw the who’s who of Nairobi attend. Well it turns out that Nakumatt Holdings in the entertainment arena to stay! Expect Nakumatt to be a staple in the entertainment industry.
As part of the firm’s efforts to shore up its Planet Media Multimedia store market development, Nakumatt Holdings has sealed an exclusive distribution deal to market the popular Nairobi Half Life Film that is now available on DVD. Read about that what the dvd contains here.

Mr. Thiagarajan Ramamurthy of Nakumatt assured: “Nakumatt Holdings will play its part in the development of performing arts and related creative disciplines by providing a distribution platform through our Planet Media stores.”
Nakumatt’s Planet Media has strongly supported the Nairobi Half Life film, which premiered at Planet Media Westgate Cineplex in August last year.

Planet Media was the first movie theatre house in Kenya to adopt the 3D digital projection systems and has also been a first  to premiere most of the internationally produced movies. That includes the latest American Superhero film, ‘Iron man 3’  which was sold out on 1st May at its Westgate theatres. Last December, Nakumatt Holdings, completed a Kshs 30million digital migration project for its Planet Media Cinemas at Westgate Mall. The migration from analogue cinema screening to digital format, makes Planet Media Cinemas, the first movie theatre house in Kenya to adopt the new digital standard ahead of an expected global transition set for mid-next year.

In Kenya, Planet Media Cinemas have installed new digital cinema systems with specifications technically known as 4K 3D and High Frame Rate (HFR) capabilities running on Dolby Screen Servers. With HFR 3D digital format, patrons at Planet Media Cinema will enjoy a smoother and more life-like picture as the eye sees twice the number of images per second.
With the commissioning of the new digital film projectors, Planet Media Cinema patrons will also enjoy better sound clarity.
