OSLO, NOWAY — The Oslo Municipal Cinemas opened the first all-digital multiplex in Norway over the weekend. Some 9,000 film fans turned out to see a combination of Norwegian and Hollywood films.

Half of the Ringen Kino’s six screens are 3D capable. The theater seats a total of 925.

Oslo Municipal Cinemas is a state-run organization that uses the profits from its eight multiplexes to fund museums and other arts groups.

Switching to digital projection is one of the top priorities for the Norwegian government in 2009.
