Good news for cinema lovers. Immersive entertainment company Dolby has launched India’s first Dolby Cinema on Wednesday, July 3, in Pune. The first Dolby Cinema has been introduced at City Pride Multiplex, Kharadi. The world leader in immersive entertainment has plans to open five more Dolby Cinemas in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Trichy, Ullikal, and Kochi.
“…We have thoughtfully designed the entire cinema down to the last detail. From reservable, spacious seating with clear sightlines – no matter where you sit – to soft interior lighting and premium details throughout, for an unparalleled movie experience. As we continue to collaborate with leading filmmakers, studios, and exhibitors, we look forward to launching more theatres that will unlock world-class movie experiences for Indian audiences,” said Michael Archer, vice president of worldwide cinema sales and partner management at Dolby Laboratories.
The cinema hall in Pune is set to have a 310-person capacity split into fourteen rows of seats. Viewers will be able to experience the combined richness of the visual quality of Dolby Vision and the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos. It will also be the only cinema hall equipped with a Dolby Vision dual 4K laser projection system till now. This system offers enhanced visuals and vivid details.
The interior has been designed to complement the unique audiovisual experience. Seating arrangements offer a premium experience with an unhindered line of sight. It also offers dynamic lighting and a curved wall-to-wall-to-ceiling screen. The cinema combines these aspects with a room designed to reduce distractions, giving the viewer complete immersion into the story.
“We’re proud to expand our collaboration with Dolby from Dolby Atmos screens to the launch of India’s first Dolby Cinema at City Pride Kharadi. Pune’s passion for premium entertainment makes it the ideal home for this experience. This launch reflects our continued commitment to bringing cutting-edge cinema to our audiences,” Pushkaraj Chaphalkar, Dolby’s partner at City Pride Multiplexes, said in a statement.
With the launch of the Dolby Cinema in Pune, City Pride Kharadi joins the global network of Dolby Cinemas, along with those in London, Tokyo, and New York. The Dolby Cinema at City Pride will commence with the screening of Jurassic World Rebirth at 10:45 am, on July 4.
The cinema is set to offer four seating options, which are 3D Vision Classic (front six rows), 3D Vision XL (seventh and thirteenth rows), 3D Vision Prime (eighth to twelfth rows), and 3D Vision Sofa (fourteenth row – furthest from the screen).
