Cineworld Sheffield opens new ‘270-degree’ ScreenX experience
New cinema technology from South Korea that projects scenes onto the side walls of the auditorium has opened in Sheffield.
Cineworld Sheffield has become the second place in Yorkshire, after another Cineworld in Leeds, to install what is known as ‘ScreenX’.
The new screen opened in Sheffield today, Friday April 5, following a premiere showing to an invited audience of superhero film Shazam! last night.
It is one of 12 ScreenX sites across the country.

The technology gives moviegoers a 270-degree viewing experience.”
