In a groundbreaking move for the Indian cinema experience, PVR INOX, the country’s premier cinema exhibitor, has unveiled its premium ICE THEATERS® auditorium at the 12-screen Superplex located in Forum South Bengaluru, Kanakapura Road.
This marks the third ICE THEATERS® auditorium in India, following the successful launches in Delhi and Gurugram.
The ICE THEATERS® auditorium introduces audiences to state-of-the-art ICE IMMERSIVE® technology, offering a sensory journey like no other. LED panels adorn the sides of the auditorium, enveloping moviegoers in supplementary ambient colors and shapes, enhancing the overall movie-watching experience.
As per a press release, these dynamic panels create a captivating visual atmosphere that complements the on-screen action, providing an immersive experience for viewers. While ICE THEATERS® excels in visual excellence through 4K Projection and Real D 3D, it elevates audio playback with Dolby Atmos®.
The auditorium at PVR Superplex boasts a seating capacity of 237, comprising classic, prime, and recliner seats.
Ajay Bijli, Managing Director of PVR INOX Limited, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “We are thrilled to expand the presence of the ICE THEATERS® screen in South India, following our successful launches in Delhi and Gurugram. India boasts one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing film markets, with a diverse audience. To meet the evolving preferences and expectations of Indian moviegoers, we continuously innovate and introduce premium experiential formats. ICE Theaters allows us to offer global cinema standards to our Indian audience, featuring both Hollywood and Indian films in various languages.”
ICE THEATERS® has already made waves by releasing over 120 titles in their immersive format, in collaboration with major Hollywood studios like Warner Bros, Sony Pictures, Lionsgate, Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, and Walt Disney Studios. In 2023, it is set to release 20 additional titles, including highly anticipated films like “The Equalizer,” “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” and “Wonka.”
The collaboration between PVR INOX and ICE THEATERS® is set to redefine the movie-watching experience in India. Audiences in the South of India can look forward to an enhanced visual and auditory experience, as the premium format continues to expand its reach across different regions and markets.
