LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ 4DPLEX
(www.cj4dx.com), the world's leading cinema technology company,
together with Warner Bros. Pictures, announced today the release of
New Line Cinema's "IT Chapter Two" in three leading next-generation
cinema technologies: the multi-sensory 4DX format, the heightened
4DX Extreme (available in select theaters and territories) and the
panoramic, 270-degree ScreenX. When the film is released globally
on September 6, 2019, audiences
worldwide will be able to take in the highly anticipated horror
franchise finale in the cutting-edge auditoriums of 4DX and
ScreenX.
"IT Chapter Two" in 4DX will bring another chilling layer of
suspense to the tense atmosphere of Derry with a combination of
motion, vibration and environmental effects. And, for those who
dare, "IT Chapter Two" in 4DX Extreme will be made even more
terrifying. Amping the levels of motion, vibration and
environmental effects by up to 20 percent, 4DX Extreme will have
audiences jolting and gripping the edge of their seats, taking in
the intensely suspenseful atmosphere of the 4DX auditorium in 4DX
Extreme.
Finally, "IT Chapter Two" in ScreenX will expand the world of
Derry, with key sequences throughout the film projected onto the
left and right-side walls of the auditorium, surrounding the
audience and enhance the looming, atmospheric tones of the film
inside the theater. As the screen stretches onto the ScreenX wings,
suspenseful images will dance in the peripherals of the audience,
drawing the audience deeper into the experience.
"We have had a longstanding partnership with Warner Bros.
Pictures, and we are thrilled to be releasing our sixth
collaboration this year with 'IT Chapter Two' in 4DX, 4DX Extreme
and ScreenX," said JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. "Each
collaboration has been wonderful, and we look forward to having
audiences gripping onto their seats as they watch the heightened
and terrifying concluding chapter of 'IT' for a one-of-a-kind
in-theater experience."
"We are incredibly excited to be expanding our partnership with
CJ 4DPLEX to release 'IT Chapter Two' in 4DX, 4DX Extreme and in
ScreenX," said Thomas Molter, Head
of International Distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures. "We trust
CJ 4DPLEX to add something new and exciting to the film-going
experience, and this film, enhanced by these cutting-edge formats,
is going to be a lot of fun and especially terrifying for our
audiences."
This partnership follows past successful collaborations between
CJ 4DPLEX and Warner Bros. Pictures that include: "Annabelle Comes Home," "The Curse of La
Llorona," "Godzilla: King of the Monsters," "POKÉMON Detective
Pikachu" and "Shazam!" in both 4DX and ScreenX
formats.
4DX enhances the on-screen visuals of action-packed adventures
and haunting horror films, transcending the traditional cinema
experience through such special effects as motion-synchronized
seats, wind, fog, rain, lightning, snow, bubbles, vibrations, and
scents. The result is one of the most exciting cinema formats in
the industry, drawing fans deeper into the action on the big
screen. 4DX Extreme ramps up the motion and environmental effects
further, heightening the effects by up to 20 percent, perfect for
adrenaline junkies and super 4DX fans.
ScreenX is the world's first multi-projection theatre technology
that allows a 270-degree panoramic movie watching experience.
ScreenX allows the audience to go beyond the frame of the
traditional movie screen, utilizing a proprietary system to expand
the center screen image to the side walls, surrounding audiences
with imagery and providing a sense of being inside the movie.
In the U.S., "IT Chapter Two" will be available in 4DX with
Regal Cinemas, Cinepolis, Marcus Theatres and CGV Cinemas, and "IT
Chapter Two" in ScreenX will be available with Regal Cinemas,
B&B Theatres and CGV Cinemas.
About IT Chapter Two
Evil resurfaces in Derry
as director Andy Muschietti reunites
the Losers Club in a return to where it all began with "IT Chapter
Two." The film is Muschietti's follow-up to 2017's critically
acclaimed and massive global box office hit "IT," which grossed
more than $700 million worldwide.
Both redefining and transcending the genre, "IT" became part of the
cultural zeitgeist.
Twenty-seven years after the Losers Club defeated Pennywise, he
has returned to terrorize the town of Derry once more. Now
adults, the Losers have long since gone their separate ways.
However, people are disappearing again, so Mike, the only one of
the group to remain in their hometown, calls the others home.
Damaged by the experiences of their past, they must each conquer
their deepest fears to destroy Pennywise once and for all...putting
them directly in the path of the shape-shifting clown that has
become deadlier than ever.

McAvoy, Jessica Chastain,
Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay
Ryan, James Ransone and
Andy Bean. Reprising their
roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Martell, Wyatt
Oleff, Jack Dylan Grazer, Finn
Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis,

Taylor. Bill Skarsgård returns in the seminal role of
Pennywise.

Lee produced the film, with Richard
