York’s state-of-the-art new cinema will be open in time to screen all the Christmas holiday movies.
Cineworld York, located at York Stadium, will open on Friday, 13 December.
It will feature thirteen state-of-the-art screens including an IMAX theatre, and ScreenX, described as the “world’s most immersive cinema experience”, which brings a 270-degree viewing experience.
More details about those crucial film snacks have also been released.
Cineworld will include a Baskin Robbins ice cream counter, rollover hot dogs, ICEE frozen drinks and a Starbucks for those who need a cinematic caffeine kick.
The opening date means the cinema will open in time for the highly anticipated films Jumanji: The Next Level and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – for the latter, tickets are now on sale at the Cineworld website.
4K laser projection
“We have a great variety of screening formats, offering the most immersive cinema experience in York,” he said. “We look forward to sharing our love of film with the local community.”
The new cinema will include…
The IMAX theatre
IMAX with Laser “delivers stunning images and powerful, immersive audio to transport audiences into blockbuster films like never before”.
The next-generation 4K laser projection system features increased resolution, sharper and brighter images, deeper contrast, accompanied by 12-channel sound technology which offers greater dynamic range.
ScreenX
The multi-projection cinema technology ScreenX expands the traditional cinema screen to the side auditorium walls, creating a 270-degree viewing experience for the audience. The innovative technology uses an array of projectors blending multiple images into one seamless image extending from the central screen out.
“ScreenX walls are installed with a fabric to ensure brightness and colour closely match the content on the main screen and extend the length of the auditorium,” Cinewordl says.
ViP screening rooms
