"We have been impressed by the MetaMedia team and the content delivery technology they have developed," said Brock Bagby, B&B’s executive vice president & chief content and development officer. "B&B Theatres is an industry-leader in innovative theatrical concepts and amenities, and we are eager to increase our programming and incremental revenue opportunities through MetaMedia's network, and we also have some ideas for utilizing their network for new marketing initiatives."
"We're thrilled and proud to expand our network by partnering with B&B Theatres," said Chuck Goldwater, president of MetaMedia North America. "B&B Theatres is one of the most admired and respected exhibitors in the industry. Their almost 100-year history is marked by their consistent leadership and continual innovations.
