Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Brand New Day was "Shot for SCREENX" and marks the first time CJ 4DPLEX collaborated with the filmmakers from on-set production through theatrical exhibition, providing them with a new creative canvas. Designed specifically for SCREENX, the experience is an authentic extension of the filmmakers' vision that further brings fans into the world of Spider-Man™, surrounding audiences in ways uniquely possible in SCREENX auditoriums.

SCREENX is the world's first multi-projection cinema that enhances the traditional movie-going experience by seamlessly extending the screens onto the surrounding walls of the auditorium. This revolutionary approach offers viewers a captivating 270-degree panoramic viewing adventure.

4DX takes immersion even further by synchronizing motion seats and environmental effects, including wind, vibration, lightning, scent, and water, with the action on screen, allowing audiences to feel the film as it unfolds.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now playing in SCREENX and 4DX theaters worldwide.
