ScreenX Sets Record Breaking 2018
ScreenX Grossed Over $40 Million at Worldwide Box Office and 4 Million in Attendance
CJ 4DPLEX (
www.cj4dx.com),
the world’s leading cinema technology company, announced that it closed out a
successful 2018 with record-breaking box office attendance for its
immersive cinema technology, ScreenX. It grossed more
than $40 million in the worldwide box office and over 4 million attendees for
the year.
In
2018, the recent surge of growth for ScreenX was achieved by strengthening
partnerships with leading Hollywood studios that doubled the number of films
from the previous year and through expanding the international reach of its theater
locations. The top ScreenX films of the year, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Black Panther,” “Detective China 2,” “Ant-Man and
The Wasp,” and “Aquaman,” grossed
over $40 million combined, tripling its box office from the previous year.
ScreenX
expanded globally to 195 theaters across 16 countries, a 30% growth from the
previous year, of which a significant portion came from the Cineworld Group
expansion plan to open 100 locations across the U.S. and Europe. In 2018, there
were 9 new ScreenX openings in the U.S. market, tripling its footprint, and 12
new theaters in Europe. A new record for the highest number of openings for a
country in a year was set by China with 18 new locations in 2018.
“We
are thrilled to report that ScreenX set a new box office record of $40 million
for 2018. We have had great success both expanding our theaters worldwide and partnering
with major Hollywood studios. We look forward to continuing to create a next-generation cinema
trend that gives movie fans around the world an exciting reason to go to ScreenX
theatres,” said JongRyul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX.
