Cinematic Renaissance: The Temptation of Premium Movie Experiences

Phoenix Theatres has refurbished a 10-screen cinema at Cleveland's Great Northern Mall with a $5 million investment, part of a broader industry trend to attract audiences with premium movie experiences.
Chains like AMC, Regal, and Cinemark are driving a $1.5 billion wave of upgrades, featuring better screens and sound. Enhanced formats now account for a record 14.9% of ticket sales, though overall revenue is yet to match pre-pandemic figures.
Industry experts highlight the importance of these premium experiences, with new screens proliferating worldwide, even as box office numbers remain below pre-pandemic highs.
