Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, is bringing the combined Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos premium moviegoing experience to even more theaters and audiences around the world. Leveraging Dolby’s robust content pipeline, globally recognized brand, and innovation in sight and sound, this new offering enables exhibitors to deliver a Dolby experience to their existing and forthcoming premium auditoriums – for the first time ever.

Dolby Cinema is the ultimate moviegoing experience, providing a Dolby-designed environment that showcases the best implementation of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Dolby Cinema generates the highest average per screen box office amongst all premium large format (PLF) offerings.

This new solution gives exhibitors access to the visceral and awe-inspiring experience of Dolby Vision picture quality together with Dolby Atmos immersive sound – the same technologies that power Dolby Cinema, allowing audiences to see, hear and feel the film exactly as the filmmaker intended.

“At Dolby, our passion is creating immersive entertainment experiences, and we can’t wait to bring the transformative power of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to even more theaters around the world,” said Jed Harmsen, Head of Cinema and Group Entertainment at Dolby. “Coming off of Dolby Cinema’s strongest year at the box office, we’re thrilled to provide exhibitors this new offering, which will unlock significantly greater opportunities for moviegoers around the world to love movies more in Dolby at premium theaters.”

Since their creation, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos have revolutionized the premium moviegoing experience, empowering filmmakers to bring their creative visions to life and immersing audiences in the worlds and characters onscreen including at numerous world premieres. Over 600 theatrical features have released or are confirmed to be in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, including recent box office hits from the past year like “Dune: Part Two,” “Barbie,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” and more. This year also marked a particularly historic year for Dolby in cinema, as Dolby innovations – the Dolby Atmos Cinema Sound System and the Christie E3LH Dolby Vision Cinema Projection System – were honored with two Scientific and Engineering Awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at the prestigious Scientific and Technical Awards, which celebrate groundbreaking innovations in cinema.*
