"We are proud to build on this partnership and very excited to bring a record number of major studio releases to the growing number of ScreenX locations that we know will thrill attendees."

Previously-opened U.S. ScreenX locations include two in the Los Angeles area, one in Las Vegas and 139 more locations across the globe.
