Metro Detroit MJR Theater Getting A 270-Degree ScreenX​ This Summer

WATERFORD, MI — A 270-degree screen is coming to an Oakland County movie theater next month.

The MJR theater in Waterford is getting the ScreenX, which extends screens onto the side walls of the auditorium, creating a 270-degree panoramic, ultra-widescreen view of the action.

The screen will open in time for the new film "Twisters," which arrives in theaters on July 19. It is also scheduled to show "Anyone But You," which opens July 19.

The MJR Waterford will be the first theater in Michigan to carry the new ScreenX, which was developed by CJ 4DPLEX. The screen was introduced in 2012 and is used on nearly 400 screens in 43 countries.

"We are thrilled to bring ScreenX to our MJR Waterford Cinema location and to be the first cinema in Michigan to offer this groundbreaking technology," Vice President of Operations for MJR Theatres Joel Kincaid said. "Our commitment to enhancing the movie-going experience is unwavering, and the introduction of ScreenX reflects our dedication to delivering the latest and most exciting advancements in cinema. We can't wait for our guests to experience movies in a whole new way."
