That's an anagram for Universal Exports, and the co-ordinates are for Prague. Could it be that they're planning to show Casino Royale?

Secret Cinema Presents Casino Royale will see audience members recruited as part of ‘Operation Wild Card’. New recruits will join either Q Branch or M Branch. Prior to their mission, they will receive an alias, dress code and training suggestions to help them prepare for a night of high stakes, sophistication and deception. Do you have what it takes?
Founded by Fabien Riggall, Secret Cinema has thrilled audiences for over a decade with its ground-breaking event format that combines film, music, art, and theatre through the prism of iconic and beloved films.

Secret Cinema Presents Casino Royale will celebrate two British cultural institutions collaborating for the very first time, delivering a completely unique, immersive film experience that promises to be one of the highlights of the arts calendar during 2019.
Angus Jackson, Creative Director of Secret Cinema presents Casino Royale said: “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to bring-to-life such an iconic film franchise and character. Casino Royale is a rich territory for us to explore from the characters to the plot and locations. Our audience will be given the opportunity to understand what it takes to embody modern espionage - bringing them closer to the Bond experience than ever before.”
Martin Campbell, Director of Casino Royale said: “I'm excited that Casino Royale is going to be brought to life by Secret Cinema. I hear it's a wonderful immersive experience, and judging by its past reactions, it's going to present the film in a way that it's never been seen before. I can't wait!”

Having attended several of these Secret Cinema events, including The Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, 28 Days Later and others, they will recreate interior locations and scenes with a high degree of veracity, so it’s as though you’re actually taking part in the film’s events. I’d expect scenes in M’s apartment, The One & Only Ocean Club, the Miami airport interior, for sure the Casino and even possibly the climax in the floating house in Venice. Guests will wear appropriate clothing inspired by the film (Mantis, I expect to see some early Bond Experience reports if you can make it over here!).
Can’t wait!
And with prices starting at £40 per ticket you can’t go wrong. -{
Btw - I dressed as Han Solo for Star Wars and Rick Deckard for Blade Runner - so I shall be dressed as 007 regardless of the dress code :007)
Casino Royale has some iconic set pieces which I'm keen to see what they will do with, such as the Venice sinking house, which could be spectacular. Bearing in mind how successfully they've recreated other contemporary film settings, such as 28 Days Later, I don't think they'll have a problem coming up with some striking and creative sets. -{
As for the sets etc. By the look of it there will be some kind of Madagascar one which i think will work well. Add to that the airport, Bahamas, a casino and I think there is plenty they could use. My wife went to the Moulin Rouge one which isn’t sci-fi and said that was great.
Cheers :007)
I’m sure people will get out of it what they put in - and that’s totally up to the individual.
I wonder why you are so negative about it?
And please lay off the personal attacks - it does you no credit.
Really? 8-)
So, enough.
Talk about taking things to extremities
I'm done with this, you guys enjoy your little fantasy Casino Royale film set. Jesus!
I see you’ve decided to delete all your posts here...that’s a guilty conscience for you.
So much for being ‘done with this’ 8-)
Your clock is wrong too...I posted last night -{
I asked you stop - after being asked to stop by the person you attacked...nothing more...not my fault you went all ‘diva’ 8-)
If you have anything else to say then PM me please...let’s leave this thread to the people that actually want to discuss the event -{
Can't Wait! :007) -{
Please NO SPOILERS from anybody who attends an earlier date!
For those that haven't been to Secret Cinema before you are in for a real treat! But do be aware that they work really hard to keep everything 'secret' for good reason. So they won't let you take pictures / videos etc whilst you are there - and they actively police that policy. I was at the recent Blade Runner SC and took my phone out of it's (provided) ziplock bag to store a number about 2 hours after the film had finished (we were still drinking/enjoying the 'nightclub') - and was still pounced on by a security ninja and told to put it away. Was actually very impressed with their dedication to keeping it all in your mind...
It does mean that the event retains that element of surprise / awe right down to the very last screening.
Can't wait - it is going to be amazing!
I recall there being photo ops within the ESB environment but maybe they've changed the rules since.
I also recall other Secret Cinemas not running anywhere near as long.
