PVR Cinemas, the largest and the premium film Exhibitors in India and CJ 4DPLEX, the world’s leading cinema technology company; has just signed a new deal at CinemaCon 2019 to open 10 ScreenX theatres in India by 2021. This extends the previous partnership between CJ 4DPLEX and PVR Cinemas in bringing a total of 21 4DX theatres across India by the end of 2019. With the new agreement, CJ 4DPLEX and PVR expect to operate a total of 31 theatres combined. Screen X is the world’s first multi-projection immersive cinematic platform which provides the moviegoers a 270 degrees viewing experience by expanding the scene onto the side walls. ScreenX allows the audience to go beyond the frame of the traditional movie screen, utilizing a proprietary system to expand select scenes of feature films and pre-show advertising to the left and right walls. It combines multi-projection technology with theatre screen and project images on the outside wall of the front screen to create a new immersion experience for the audience.

Ten PVR Cinema theatres across metros; Delhi- NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad will be integrated with the industry first ScreenX technology and will set an industry benchmark for an enhanced movie viewing experience. Gautam Dutta, CEO of PVR Cinemas commented, “The film exhibition industry is dynamic and is actively evolving owing to the demands of the discerning audiences. In our constant attempt to develop cinema viewing experience in India, PVR has introduced a diverse range of advanced technological solutions and have supplemented the experience at the theatres with a host of hospitality services. We are certain the technology will be well received in India and will set new standards in the film exhibition industry.”
