CJ 4DPLEX and B&B Theatres partnered in 2018 to introduce the largest ScreenX system in the world, a screen that is over four stories tall and seven stories wide, offering moviegoers one of the most premium, immersive viewing experiences in history. Following the successful pilot, a second ScreenX auditorium will launch early September, boasting a surround sound system and a brand new auditorium seating layout that has never been done before in a ScreenX theater setting.

“B&B has been an excellent partner in shaking up the industry to introduce one-of-a-kind ScreenX experiences. We are thrilled to extend our partnership in expanding the ScreenX footprint to bring 5 additional auditoriums across the U.S.,” said JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. “With B&B, we look forward to creating more one-of-a-kind ScreenX experiences, elevating the cinema-going experience further, and bring more of these experiences to more theaters and locations in the future.”
