Dolby Expands Partnership With AMC; To Add 40 New Dolby Cinema Locations In U.S. By 2027

(RTTNews) - Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (DLB) and AMC Entertainment (AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and in the world, announced a significant expansion of their decade long partnership, with AMC adding an additional 40 Dolby Cinema at their locations in the U.S. through the end of 2027, beginning this year

This represents a nearly 25% increase of Dolby Cinema at AMC auditoriums in the U.S., bringing the total number to over 200.

Dolby Cinema is the flagship offering of Dolby's theatrical solutions for exhibitors and moviegoers alike. It provides Dolby Vision ultra-vivid picture quality combined with Dolby Atmos immersive sound for watching films at theatres.

As part of the partnership, AMC and Dolby extend their commitment to the existing Dolby Cinema network.

In addition to the new locations, AMC has also selected Dolby Vision as its HDR offering of choice, which combined with Dolby Atmos, makes Dolby Cinema an extraordinary and compelling premium theatrical experience.

The partnership comes at a time when premium moviegoing represents a significant and growing share of the total box office. Over 725 theatrical features have been released or confirmed to be released in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to date.

These include new and upcoming releases at the box office like Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Karate Kid: Legends, F1, Jurassic World Rebirth, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and more. And of the top 50 titles of the past five years, 49 were shown in Dolby Cinema.
