The US-based Lionsgate is partnering with Dubai Parks and Resorts to bring a Lionsgate zone to Motiongate Dubai, the Hollywood-themed park opening in Dubai in October 2016.
The Lionsgate zone will feature state-of-the-art theme park attractions and a retail facility inspired by Lionsgate’s global blockbuster 'The Hunger Games' franchise.
It will also incorporate a 'live' stage show based on Step Up: All In and Step Up: Revolution, the two most recent films in the Company’s worldwide Step Up franchise.
“Our franchises are continuing to drive location-based entertainment opportunities around the world,” said Lionsgate Chief Executive Officer Jon Feltheimer.
The 4 million sq ft Motiongate Dubai is anticipated to attract over three million visits a year and will take visitors on a cinematic journey through their favourite films via 27 different latest-in-technology rides and attractions.
“Lionsgate’s Hunger Games, Step Up and other signature properties are the perfect centrepiece for one of the most visionary new theme parks in the world,” said Dubai Parks and Resorts Chief Executive Officer Raed Al Nuaimi.
“Through this partnership we are offering even more for the whole family to enjoy on their visit and are confident that Motiongate Dubai will set a global benchmark as the ultimate movie themed destination,” he added.
“Motiongate Dubai is poised to become one of the most exciting new entertainment destinations in the world, and we’re thrilled that many of our biggest franchises will be an integral part of it,” said Lionsgate Executive Vice President of Global Franchise Management and Strategic Partnerships Kerry Phelan and Senior Vice President of Branded Attractions Jenefer Brown.
Alongside Motiongate, Dubai Parks and Resorts will include Legoland Dubai and Bollywood Parks Dubai. These will be connected by Riverland, a retail, dining and entertainment walkway. The development will also feature Lapita, a Polynesian-themed resort catering to families.
