Speaking at a media parley, heralding the official opening of the edifice at Agege recently, the management of the Heritage Group, noted that with the multiple screens, the cinema is one of the biggest in Lagos, and has all it takes to revive the once thriving cinema culture in Agege, which was once popular because of Pen Cinema.

Speaking further, the management noted that the purpose of the huge investment in Agege by the investors was to bring the quality lifestyle people go for in Lekki and Ikoyi to Agege.
It is also aimed at creating employment, with the residents of the Agege neighbourhood getting a huge chunk of the job opportunities.

On safety and security, the management assured that the building passed all the necessary safety and security tests, while the guests are considered a priority.
