DreamWorks Animation and REGIONS Group of Companies have signed a licensing agreement to develop indoor theme parks in major cities throughout Russia. The theme parks, scheduled to open in 2015, will be located in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Yekaterinburg. The parks will include a mixed-use movie and concert hall, 4D movie theater, three-star 400-room hotel, and a retail center. The height of each park will be comparable to a 13-floor building, giving visitors the sense of being outdoors. DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said, “Russia is one of the most important markets in the world for us. All of us at DWA are extremely excited to work with REGIONS CG to be the first Hollywood studio to create not just one, but three theme parks in Russia. These parks are going to be groundbreaking cultural hubs that will give families the chance to truly enter the world of DreamWorks”.
