SF Bio's Norwegian subsidiary SF Kino has announced it will be building Norway's biggest movie theater in Oslo. The new theater will be called Festningen Kino (which translates to the fortress cinema) and will be built on land next to the Akershus fortress. SF Kino has long wanted to establish itself in Oslo, and for the first time the right spot has become available, says SF Bio's CEO Jan Bernhardsson.

Swedish cinemas attracted a record audience during the past Christmas and New Year. Visits at SF Bio cinemas were up 32% compared to last year.

"The best thing is that the audience wanted to see a very large variety of films," says Jan Bernhardsson, CEO SF Bio. "We notice the desire of the audience to gather together in front of really good stories."

Among the films that drew much public during the weekends are Avatar, both in 3D and conventional 35 mm film, Sherlock Holmes, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Bright Star and New Moon.
