ScreenX is a panoramic film format which presents films with an expanded, dual-sided, 270-degree screens projected on the walls in a theater. [1] First introduced in 2012, it is created by CJ 4DPLEX, a subsidiary of the CJ CGV group which also created the 4DX motion-theater technology, which uses a similar logo and combines both formats, known as Ultra 4DX. [2] Co-developed by KAIST, it is considered a "sideways" version of IMAX and a presumed competitor to streaming platforms such as Netflix. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

As of 2022, the theater technology is installed in 364 screens in 37 countries. [8]

Overview

This logo was used until 2019.

Like for IMAX films, in order to match the length of the entire tri-screen theater, ScreenX films are formatted either during shooting in production or converting in post-production. [1] A film shot for ScreenX is typically shot with three cameras. [9] The process is done through scene selecting, archiving, delivering assets, color grading, and mastering before distribution to theaters. [10]

Most ScreenX films are live-action, mostly from Asia, particularly South Korea. Only a few animated films (and family films) are ever produced for the format. [9] The technology has been rarely produced for Hollywood studio films due to the complexity of the additional computer animation work as side footage. [11] Lee Jae-seon, who worked for the ScreenX version of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword at G-node, said that, "It is not easy to create Hollywood blockbuster CG work in Korea, but it is meaningful because we created Hollywood blockbuster CG work for ScreenX.” [11] Films were initially shown only in selected locations due to the lack of partners at the time. [11]

On December 13, 2019, the world's largest ScreenX auditorium was inaugurated at the Màgic Badalona shopping centre in Badalona, Spain. It has a capacity of 398 seats. [12] India got its first ScreenX in July 2019 at INOX Megaplex at Mumbai, Maharashtra. [13] [14]

Ultra 4DX

Ultra 4DX [2] (formerly 4DX with ScreenX from 2017 to 2019, and 4DX Screen until 2024) is the combination of 4DX and ScreenX film formats which presents films in a multi-screen auditorium with enhanced motion and environmental effects, with an additional fourth-screen projected on the ceiling and the newest 4DX chair models. It debuted in Yongsan in 2017, and was internationally unveiled at CinemaCon 2018, and later at CES 2020. [15] [16] [17] The combined film format is currently[ when?] operating throughout Asian territories including South Korea, Japan, China and India. It later opened its first theater in a non-Asian location at a Les Cinémas Gaumont Pathé theater in Paris, France. [18] [19] It later made its overseas debut at a Cinépolis theater in Mexico City, Mexico in March 2020. [20] [21] [22]

Reception

Since 2018, ScreenX technology been successful at worldwide box offices, following the successful panoramic release of Marvel Studios's Black Panther. [23] It has grossed a combined total of over $40 million throughout the year through films released in the panoramic format. [24]

In 2022, ScreenX has achieved even more box office success, with Top Gun: Maverick as the highest-grossing release. [25] [26]
