Logo: On a space background, we see a circle of pillars on a grey platform, and colorful light flares in the middle. We zoom through the pillars and the flares bring down six triangle-like shapes, while the Empire Theatres logo from the period (three filmstrips in an arc shape on a blue oval) zooms out, and the words "EMPIRE THEATRES" appear below. The logo zooms out, then the background irises out as the logo fades away with a blur effect. Then, a no symbol with a cell phone appears on the left with the words "Please Turn Off!", followed by a yellow circle with a trash can in the middle with the words "Please Deposit Refuse", and a yellow circle with a speech bubble that says "Shh!..." on the right with the words "Please Be Courteous". Finally, "FEATURE PRESENTATION" zooms out, initially in black but fading to white as it stops. There is a smoke effect behind the words.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat piano/guitar theme, with wind sound effects throughout. Three whooshes are heard when the circles appear.

Availablility: Extinct.
