MONTREAL, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- D-BOX Technologies Inc. (“D-BOX” or the "Corporation") (TSX: DBO), a Corporation with more than 25 years of experience creating haptic and immersive experiences, is proud to announce an expansion of its long-standing relationship with Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Cinemark”), one of the largest and most influential theatrical exhibition companies in the world.
This rollout will add over 70 D-BOX haptic-enabled screens across as many as 25 Cinemark theaters in the United States in the next eighteen (18) months, predominately in theaters that have yet to experience D-BOX. This expansion represents a significant investment and marks one of the largest multi-site expansions of D-BOX screens in recent years. Notably, the expansion will increase Cinemark’s worldwide D-BOX presence to more than 500 auditoriums, further solidifying its position as the exhibitor with the highest D-BOX penetration.
“This continued collaboration with Cinemark highlights a shared commitment to innovation and premium experiences,” said Sébastien Mailhot, President and CEO of D-BOX. “The fact that Cinemark is not only opening new D-BOX locations but also expanding existing ones shows the strength of the format and the growing audience appetite for immersive entertainment.”
This latest expansion underscores D-BOX’s ongoing commitment to redefining theatrical entertainment through innovation. By extending its immersive haptic technology to more locations in the United States, D-BOX is not only growing its global presence but also helping exhibitors deliver differentiated experiences that drive audience engagement and change the way they interact with films.
