CJ 4DPLEX and Showtime Group Join Forces
In an exciting development for movie lovers in Taiwan, CJ 4DPLEX, a renowned leader in premium cinematic technology, has expanded its partnership with the Showtime Group to introduce six new state-of-the-art cinematic formats. This initiative includes the incorporation of ULTRA 4DX and SCREENX technologies, set to debut in 2025.
A New Era of Cinematic Experience
The flagship location for this ambitious expansion will be the Taipei Dome, a vibrant hub for culture and sports. This complex will feature
two ULTRA 4DX and two SCREENX theaters, marking the first time in Taiwan that an exhibitor offers both premium formats within the same venue. The Taipei Dome is designed to house a myriad of entertainment options, including a sizable indoor stadium that can accommodate up to 40,000 guests.
The two ULTRA 4DX theaters will enhance the cinematic experience with multisensory effects that engage audiences in a unique way. Furthermore, the expansion will also include additional ULTRA 4DX facilities at Showtime’s
Dream Mall and
Wenxin locations, with the first multisensory 4DX theater slated to open at
Taichung Station.
The Technology Behind ULTRA 4DX and SCREENX
CJ 4DPLEX is renowned for its innovative approach to cinema technology. With
4DX, viewers are immersed in the film with over
21 environmental effects such as wind, rain, and vibrations, synchronizing with the action on-screen to create a truly interactive experience. On the other hand,
SCREENX provides a breathtaking 270-degree panoramic viewing atmosphere by projecting additional images onto the side walls of the theater, allowing audiences to feel the movie's essence enveloping them.
ULTRA 4DX combines both of these groundbreaking technologies, offering a compelling and integrated cinematic adventure unlike any other. With over
44 ULTRA 4DX auditoriums installed worldwide, the debut of these formats in Taiwan signifies a major step forward in enhancing the region's movie-going experience.
Positive Outlook from Industry Leaders
Willy Liao, the General Manager of Showtime Group, remarked on the partnership's expansion, stating, "The overwhelming success of our previous collaborations made the introduction of ULTRA 4DX in Taiwan a logical progression. We are continually striving to deliver groundbreaking cinematic experiences to our audiences."
CJ 4DPLEX’s CEO, Jun Bang, expressed excitement about the collaboration, saying, "By launching both ULTRA 4DX and SCREENX at the Taipei Dome, we are excited to offer premium cinematic experiences to moviegoers across Asia."
The Future of Cinema in Taiwan
The new user-centric approach aims to attract more audiences to cinemas, showcasing a commitment to providing an innovative entertainment landscape. The addition of multisensory environments continues to evolve the traditional viewing experience, aligning with global trends in entertainment
Showtime Group's efforts don't stop here, as by the end of 2025, the company aims to establish a total of
nine SCREENX and four ULTRA 4DX theaters across their locations, enhancing Taiwan's standing as a valuable market for advanced cinema technology.
This partnership signifies not just an expansion of theater formats but a redefine of movie-watching culture in Taiwan, aiming to bring unforgettable experiences to every film screening.
