When it comes to movie formats, audiences have more choices than ever. From booming surround sound to crystal-clear visuals, premium formats are designed to elevate the moviegoing experience. But if you’re looking for something that goes beyond the screen—literally—ScreenX might be your new favorite way to watch.
What is ScreenX?
ScreenX is a revolutionary cinematic format that expands the traditional screen into a 270-degree panoramic display. Instead of watching a movie on a single front-facing screen, ScreenX wraps the visuals around the side walls of the auditorium, extending the action into your peripheral vision. It’s like stepping inside the movie, with scenes unfolding all around you.
This immersive setup is especially powerful during wide landscape shots, action sequences, and moments designed to make you feel like you’re part of the story. The extended visuals are carefully crafted to complement the main screen, creating a seamless and dynamic viewing experience.

Unveiling ScreenX: A Three-Screen Movie Theater
ScreenX is not just a movie theater; it's a movie theater with three screens! Developed by CJ 4DPLEX, ScreenX uses a multi-projection system to expand specially selected sequences of a film onto the left and right-side walls of the auditorium. In short, ScreenX features not one screen, but three. The primary screen is the same as in every movie theatre: It's right in front of you. But the walls to left and right are screens, too. This technology surrounds audiences with extended imagery that naturally fills their peripheral vision, immersing them into the narrative of the film. ScreenX provides a visually stunning premium theatrical experience that cannot be replicated at home.
Why Choose ScreenX? The Benefits of Immersive Viewing
Watching movies in ScreenX comes with a host of benefits. The immersive experience provided by the 270-degree panoramic view enhances the visuals, making action scenes more thrilling and landscapes more breathtaking. ScreenX also offers a unique viewing experience for first-time viewers and reinvigorates repeated viewings by providing a new perspective. Whether you're watching an epic drama or a sci-fi adventure, ScreenX elevates the movie experience to a whole new level.
Perfect Movies for ScreenX: Genres and Examples
Certain types of movies are perfect for viewing in ScreenX. Action and adventure films, sci-fi and fantasy movies, epic dramas, and horror films all benefit from the immersive environment provided by ScreenX. For example, movies like "Top Gun: Maverick," "Wicked," and "Captain America: Brave New World" specifically make content and scenes for ScreenX. These genres and titles are ideal for ScreenX as they transport viewers into the heart of the action and enhance the storytelling with extended imagery.
How ScreenX Footage Is Created
Footage for the left and right screens in a ScreenX theater is created in two ways: During a movie's primary production phase, and with post-production effects work. The movies that have produced extra footage for ScreenX during the primary production phase are produced in China and South Korea so far. The zombie movie TRAIN TO BUSAN, for example, was released in the ScreenX format. Movies produced in the United States have so far all created the extra footage for ScreenX during the post-production phase. The first American studio movies released in the format were KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, both released in 2017.
