ScreenX, developed by South Korean cinema technology company CJ 4DPLEX, is a multi-projection technology that gives audiences a panoramic view of what’s happening on screen, allowing them to feel like they’re ‘inside’ the movie.

“Warner Bros. Pictures continues to be a strong supporter and partner of the ScreenX cinematic experience, and we are beyond excited to grow that partnership with a release of six titles from their upcoming film lineup,” said JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX. “We continue to expand this new technology to an ever-increasing and loyal consumer fan base that will help shape the movie-going landscape for years to come.”

ScreenX has grown significantly in the past year, which is available at 195 theaters in 62 different countries. Cineworld Group also announced plans to open 100 additional locations across the U.S. and Europe last summer.
