AMC Cinemas, the first cinema operator in Saudi Arabia, recently hosted British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Neil Crompton and British Embassy staff in Riyadh during a special screening of “James Bond: No Time to Die.” The movie was shown on Sept. 30 at AMC Cinemas in the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh.
Attending the event were prominent personalities, media representatives and senior officials from Aston Martin and Omega, which were partners of AMC Cinemas in organizing the exclusive screening.
Speaking on the occasion, Andrew Such, CEO of AMC Cinemas, said: “We are pleased to host prominent personalities, including British Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Neil Crompton and our partners Aston Martin and Omega. We are thrilled to bring this movie to the Kingdom and this showing is part of our ongoing effort to provide an unforgettable cinematic experience for our audiences.”
Ambassador Crompton said: “I am delighted to attend this evening’s screening on Her Majesty’s (not) Secret Service, and to be joined by so many leading figures from culture and film in the Kingdom. From Britain with love, thank you to AMC Cinemas, Aston Martin and Omega for organizing such a wonderful event. At a really exciting time for entertainment in Saudi Arabia, it is great to get back to the cinema and enjoy the first major release since we have begun to look ahead after the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In “No Time To Die,” Bond has left active service, and his peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology. The movie is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and stars Daniel Craig, Rami Malek and Ana de Armas.
“No Time to Die” is screening at AMC Cinemas locations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Hafr Al-Batin, Al-Dawadmi, and Al-Majmaah.
