AMC, CJ 4DPLEX Expand Global Theaters with 65 New 4DX, SCREENX Locations

AMC Entertainment and CJ 4DPLEX have announced a partnership to introduce 65 premium SCREENX and 4DX auditoriums across the United States and Europe, marking the first time these technologies will be available in AMC locations in the U.S. The initiative includes 40 4DX theaters and 25 SCREENX theaters, with the first openings scheduled for this summer, followed by a full rollout expected by 2027. This expansion is seen as a strategic move for AMC, which is seeking to enhance the movie-going experience amid ongoing industry challenges, including a significant debt burden. CJ 4DPLEX's technologies provide immersive experiences, with SCREENX offering a 270-degree panoramic viewing and 4DX delivering multisensory effects such as motion and environmental stimuli. Both companies view this collaboration as a step forward in redefining cinema experiences, as AMC prepares to showcase a robust lineup of films in these new formats. The deal also increases CJ 4DPLEX's premium screen count to over 1,200 worldwide.
