CJ 4DPLEX, the world’s leading producer of premium cinema formats and immersive theater experiences, and EVT, owners of Event Cinemas, the largest movie exhibitor in Australia and New Zealand, announced four new ScreenX locations for their expanded partnership.

The new ScreenX locations will open at Event Cinemas Bondi (Australia), and Event Cinemas Albany (New Zealand), with a third and fourth location to be confirmed. The additions will bring the total number of ScreenX auditoriums on the Event Cinemas circuit to eight, reinforcing EVT’s commitment to offering Australian and New Zealand audiences the very best in premium cinema experiences.

ScreenX is the world’s first multi-projection cinema format, expanding select scenes of a film beyond the traditional frame and onto the side walls of the theater to create a 270-degree panoramic viewing environment. By surrounding audiences with imagery curated specifically for the format, ScreenX places moviegoers at the center of the story and delivers a theatrical experience that cannot be replicated at home.

ScreenX is currently installed in over 430 auditoriums across 40 countries, with continued expansion underway through CJ 4DPLEX’s growing network of global exhibitor partners

This expansion builds on an existing and growing collaboration between EVT and CJ 4DPLEX. EVT already operates eight multi-sensory 4DX auditoriums across its network, further deepening a partnership that continues to raise the bar for immersive cinema in the region.

“Premiumisation is at the heart of our cinema strategy, and this expansion with CJ 4DPLEX reflects that,” said Carmen Switzer, Director of Entertainment, ANZ, EVT,“Today’s moviegoers are seeking out experiences that go beyond the movie, and ScreenX delivers this with a 270-degree, fully immersive format that simply can’t be replicated anywhere else. Bringing four new ScreenX locations to Event Cinemas is about staying obsessively close to what our customers want. We’re proud to be the premium format leader in Australia and New Zealand, and to continue this bringing our customers world class cinematic experiences.”

This expansion is a defining signal of where premium cinema is headed on a global scale,” said Don Savant, Chief Business Officer & Chief Marketing Officer of CJ 4DPLEX. “Australia and New Zealand have long stood among our most dynamic and loyal markets, and these four new ScreenX installations speak to an undeniable and growing demand for immersive theatrical experiences that cannot be replicated anywhere else. We are honored to be leading that transformation.

All four ScreenX auditoriums are expected to open by Christmas this year, well ahead of blockbuster-packed summer The 270-degree premium format is heading into its biggest season yet, with “Toy Story 5,” “Supergirl,” the live-action “Moana,” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” all lined up for the audiences worldwide. With more than 50 titles planned across 2026, including Hollywood blockbusters, concert experiences, anime releases, and Bollywood films, this is shaping up to be ScreenX’s most ambitious year to date.

Further details on opening dates will be announced in due course.
