"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. 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," JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX.

In the past 12 months alone, ScreenX has seen a surge in the number of ScreenX installed auditoriums, which have grown to 195, a more than 30% increase year-over-year and will nearly double its footprint with the recently announced expansion plan with the Cineworld Group to open 100 locations across the U.S. and Europe.
