So a second operator for Dolby Cinema in Holland. That 3rd Dolby Cinema for JT Bioskopen, now owned by Vue International https://www.vuecinemas.nl, the JT executive spoke off in the original announcement by Dolby, never materialized. So now the market leader Pathé is getting a few too. So, a multi-customer strategy for Dolby, and a multi-vendor one for Pathé that announced it would also open 6 new IMAX theaters accross France and Holland.
