SEOUL, South Korea and
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ 4DPLEX
announced that the company has signed a letter of intent with Regal
Entertainment Group to bring its 4DX immersive cinema experience to
17 additional screens in the U.S. by the end of 2018. This will
include the installation of 4DX in Orlando, FL., and Seattle, WA., within the next few months.
The partnership between Regal Entertainment Group and CJ 4DPLEX
continues to grow following the recent openings of 4DX screens in
New York City at Union Square
Stadium 14 and E-Walk Stadium 13 & RPX in 2016. Beginning with
the first ever U.S. 4DX theatre at the L.A. LIVE Stadium 14, which
launched in Los Angeles in
June 2014, this will bring the total
number of 4DX-enabled Regal screens to 20.
"At Regal, we continue to look for innovative ways to provide an
exceptional moviegoing experience for our guests," said
Rob Del Moro, Chief Technical &
Theatre Operations Officer at Regal Entertainment Group. "With the
continued success of our New York
and Los Angeles locations, we are
excited to partner with CJ 4DPLEX to expand this immersive
experience to additional Regal Cinemas throughout the country."
CJ 4DPLEX's 4DX technology enhances the onscreen visuals of
action-packed blockbusters, enabling a completely immersive event
that transcends the traditional cinema experience through special
effects including motion-activated seats, wind, fog, rain,
lighting, vibrations and scents. The result is that 4DX, going
beyond 3D, adds visual, aural, olfactory and tactile dimensions to
the film-viewing experience, and lends itself perfectly to
high-energy movies.
"We are extremely excited to expand this immersive cinematic
experience to other sites in the United
States. From the success we've seen at the box office in
Los Angeles and New York and from the overwhelmingly positive
response we've received from audiences, we have no doubt that these
4DX theatres will soon become the hottest entertainment spots in
the country," said Brandon Choi,
COO, CJ 4DPlex Americas.
There are now more than 34,000 4DX seats operating in 268
theatres in 41 countries - opening on approximately one new screen
every two weeks as theatres recognize the power of the format.
