(DBO.A on the TSX Venture Exchange) announced today the next movie title to feature its immersive motion technology will be Focus Features' new film, "9" debuting on Sept. 9, 2009. Audiences will soon have the opportunity to live the animated action for the first time and experience this next dimension in movie viewing with the release of "9" produced by award-winning movie producer, Tim Burton. Moviegoers will feel the extraordinary sensations of onscreen explosions and intense action-packed battles all from individual motion-enhanced theatre seats. Offering a completely immersive realistic experience, D-BOX Motion Designers code each film, frame by frame, utilizing the company's ground-breaking D-BOX Motion Code(TM).

"Since unveiling D-BOX motion technology in movie theatres in April, we have continued to experience steady growth and enter new markets in the U.S. and Canada.
