Toronto 
ScreenX Auditorium (CNW Group/Cineplex)
Experience seeing Aquaman in 270-Degree Cinematic Format!
Canada’s first ScreenX auditorium opens tomorrow – Thursday, December 20, in Toronto. CJ 4DPLEX has partnered with Cineplex to bring this unique experience to Toronto.
The immersive new experience will open at Cineplex Cinemas Queensway and VIP and will debut with Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated film, “Aquaman.”
ScreenX is the world’s first multi-projection theatre technology that enables a 270-degree, panoramic movie-watching experience. Using a proprietary system to expand the centre screen image to the side walls, ScreenX surrounds audiences with imagery beyond the frame of the traditional movie screen and provides them with a sense of being inside the movie.
CJ 4DPLEX and Cineplex partnered in 2016 to open Canada’s first 4DX auditorium at Cineplex Cinemas Yonge-Dundas and VIP. Following a successful pilot, the Companies announced an expanded agreement in September 2018 that will bring the 4DX experience to as many as 13 additional Cineplex locations across the country over the coming years.
“Aquaman” is the fourth film in a multi-picture agreement between Warner Bros. Pictures and
CJ 4DPLEX and the eighth Hollywood blockbuster released in ScreenX this year alone. “Aquaman” follows the globally successful ScreenX blockbuster engagements of “The Meg”, “The Nun” and “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”. The ScreenX slate continues in 2019 with the first solo feature of fan-favourite “Shazam!” in April 2019.
CJ 4DPLEX is a leading, next-generation cinema technology company, headquartered in Seoul with international offices in Los Angeles and Beijing. The company has created immersive film technologies for theaters worldwide that include ‘4DX’, ‘ScreenX’ and ‘4DX with ScreenX’ for consumers to experience films in ways that were never before possible.
