HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ 4DPLEX, the world's leading producer of premium film formats and cinema technologies, and Apple Cinemas, today announced their partnership to open five ScreenX auditoriums across the country.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with CJ 4DPLEX to deliver a transformative cinema experience to our Apple Cinemas moviegoers," said Siva Shan - Co-Founder, Apple Cinemas. "ScreenX engages viewers, drawing them into a cinematic journey with its multi-projection system and 270-degree panoramic experience. With our initial locations established, we're excited to plan a nationwide expansion in the coming years."
