Imax Corp. and SM Prime Holdings, the largest mall operator in the Philippines, will install two Imax digital projection systems at shopping malls in the cities of Manila and Cebu.

The deal follows the success of SM's first Imax theater, which has been the highest grossing screen in the country since it opened in 2006.

The two systems are expected to be installed during the third and fourth quarters of 2009.
