Friday’s grand opening of Oklahoma City’s first IMAX Theater, the AMC Quail Springs Mall 24 IMAX, will benefit the Blue Star Mothers of America.
The IMAX Grand Opening Celebration is for 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Quail Springs Mall, directly in front of the theater box office. Attendees are asked to bring an item to donate to care packages for U.S. service men and women stationed overseas. Blue Star Mothers of America will be on-hand to collect all donated items.
Suggested donation items include:
- Individually wrapped food items such as pudding cups, pouch drink mixes, beef jerky, etc.
- Prepaid phone cards
- Socks
- Travel-size personal hygiene products
- Gum and candy
- Small toys
- DVDs
Those who donate items will be able to register to win one of the following items to be awarded at the end of the event:
- A BluRay player with two James Cameron films on Blu-ray discs
- DVD collection of James Cameron movies, including “True Lies,” “Terminator,” “Terminator 2,” “Alien,” “Titanic” and “The Abyss”
- The IMAX Ultimate Collection 20-Disc DVD Box Set, which features IMAX films such as “Blue Planet,” “NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience,” “T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous” and many other IMAX favorites.
AMC Quail Springs IMAX will celebrate its official grand opening by showing director James Cameron’s “Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience.” The high-tech sci-fi epic follows a paraplegic marine (Sam Worthington) to the jungle planet Pandora, where he gets caught up in a war between humans and the native species, the Na’vi.
Attendees also are encouraged to bring their cameras to take a picture with an “Avatar” Na’vi warrior. Children can visit the “Avatar” IMAX table to make their own free Na’vi warrior necklace or bracelet. Na’vi warriors will also be handing out complimentary IMAX and “Avatar” promotional items.
