AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.

AMC Burbank 16 in the Los Angeles market, AMC Town Square 18 in Las Vegas, AMC Gulf Pointe 30 in Houston, and AMC Barrywoods 24 in Kansas City have debuted new immersive premium formats as part of the companies' rollout to select AMC locations.

BURBANK, Calif., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ 4DPLEX, the world's leading producer of premium cinema formats and immersive theater technologies, and AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and the world, today announced the opening of the first four premium format auditoriums developed under their strategic partnership. Two SCREENX at AMC auditoriums and two 4DX at AMC auditoriums have been completed across key locations in the United States.

The newly launched locations include:

• SCREENX at AMC Burbank 16 – a flagship AMC location in the Los Angeles market and one of the most renowned movie theatres in North America
• SCREENX at AMC Town Square 18, just off the Las Vegas Strip
• 4DX at AMC Gulf Pointe 30 in Houston
• 4DX at AMC Barrywoods 24 in Kansas City, located near AMC's global headquarters

These openings represent the first four CJ premium format installations at AMC Theatres, marking a major milestone in the companies' collaboration to bring SCREENX and 4DX auditoriums to select AMC locations.

SCREENX introduces a 270-degree panoramic viewing environment that expands select scenes of a film beyond the main screen and onto the auditorium's side walls, surrounding audiences and placing them directly inside the story.

The latest installations also introduce the next generation of SCREENX technology, featuring a fully redesigned show control platform and upgraded 3-chip cinema-quality projection systems for the side walls. These advancements deliver significantly improved brightness, color accuracy, synchronization, and presentation stability, further elevating SCREENX as one of the most advanced premium cinema formats available today.

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.

"These initial openings of SCREENX and 4DX represent a continuation of AMC's absolute commitment to being our industry's clear leader in bringing innovative premium experiences to our guests," said Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO, AMC Theatres. "By introducing both SCREENX and 4DX at some of AMC's top locations across the country, in addition to those at our European theatres as well, we are significantly expanding the range of premium options available to moviegoers. We look forward to further enhancing the theatrical experience and growing the list of AMC and Odeon locations where guests can enjoy SCREENX and 4DX in the months and years to come."

"The launch of these first four premium CJ formats with AMC is an important moment for our companies and for the continued evolution of the premium moviegoing experience," said Don Savant, CEO and President, Americas at CJ 4DPLEX. "From the Las Vegas Strip to the fantastic location at AMC Burbank, to major markets like Houston and Kansas City, these installations demonstrate the strong momentum behind immersive premium cinema and our shared commitment to delivering experiences that cannot be replicated at home."

The new auditoriums will showcase a slate of major upcoming releases enhanced for SCREENX and 4DX, including "Project Hail Mary," "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu," and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day", from studios including Amazon MGM Studios, Universal Pictures, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and Sony Pictures.

From the Team Behind 'When Calls the Heart' and 'After Death,' the Discovery Institute–Backed Feature Launches Its Official Trailer

Lee Strobel Boards as Executive Producer on Science-Driven Documentary Featuring Dr. Stephen C. Meyer and Jay W. Richards

NASHVILLE, Tenn. and DENVER, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A new feature documentary is about to challenge everything you thought science had settled about the origin of the universe—and the existence of God. The Story of Everything arrives in theatres nationwide April 30–May 6 from Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide. The Story of Everything will bring to the big screen stunning new evidence from cosmology, physics, and molecular biology that its creators say demands a radical rethinking of where we came from and why we are here. 

Watch the trailer here.

Produced by Brian Bird (When Calls the Heart) alongside Jason Pamer and Jens Jacob of Sypher Studios (After Death, the #1 grossing faith documentary of all time), the Discovery Institute–backed film takes audiences on a cinematic journey from the star-forming regions of the cosmos to the intricate architecture of living cells—revealing unmistakable signs of intentional design woven throughout nature. 

The film confronts a familiar narrative head-on: that the universe emerged from nothing and that life arose by accident. Drawing on cutting-edge research into the fine-tuning of physical laws and the information encoded in DNA, The Story of Everything makes a bold case that the most significant scientific discoveries of our era do not point away from God—they point directly toward Him. 

Bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel (The Case for Christ) has joined the project as Executive Producer. Executive Producers Paul and Monica Kepes, who have championed the film throughout its five-year journey, are joined by Executive Producers Karl and Nelda Buckman, and Jef Sewell, who have recently come alongside the project in support of its theatrical release, with Ted Robinson serving as Co-Executive Producer.

"I've spent decades investigating whether belief in God stands up to scrutiny," Strobel said. "What makes The Story of Everything compelling is its focus on scientific evidence and its invitation for audiences to examine the data for themselves." 

Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, a Cambridge University–trained philosopher of science, New York Times bestselling author, and Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, anchors the film's scientific exploration. Featured on The Joe Rogan Experience, Dr. Meyer is the Director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, and his book inspired the new film. Additional philosophers and scientists, including Jay W. Richards, John Lennox, Peter Thiel, and more, share groundbreaking discoveries throughout the documentary to further the case for Intelligent Design.

"This film doesn't ask audiences to believe without evidence—it shows them the evidence," said Meyer. "The Story of Everything tells nothing less than the story of the scientific rediscovery of the evidence for the existence of God." 

"The Story of Everything is a cinematic search for the signature behind reality—from the laws that shape galaxies to the code written into every living cell," said director Eric Esau. "We set out to bridge wonder and reason, letting the cosmos and biology speak for themselves. I hope that the film awakens awe at the possibility that the deep order of the universe is not a coincidence, but a clue pointing to a mind behind it all." 

With Bird's large-scale storytelling experience and Pamer's past commercial success, the film brings cinematic scope to one of humanity's oldest questions: Is there a mind behind the universe?
