WESTFIELD, New Jersey (January 7, 2013) - Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (NasdaqCM: DCIN) (Digiplex), a fast-growing motion picture exhibitor dedicated to transforming movie theaters into digital entertainment centers, today announced the appointment of Chuck Goldwater as its Senior Vice President, effective immediately.  Mr. Goldwater had joined the Company’s Board of Directors in early 2012, prior to the completion of its successful initial public offering (IPO).

Digiplex Chairman and CEO Bud Mayo stated, “We are delighted that Chuck has agreed to join our senior management team as he brings a tremendous wealth of relevant experience and numerous important industry relationships to his new role at Digiplex.  He has particular expertise in digital cinema deployment and with alternative entertainment programming, two key areas of importance to our fast-growing exhibition chain’s future success.  Chuck also fits in very well with other executive team members as he worked with many of us at both Cinedigm and Clearview Cinemas.”
