D-BOX and Metropolitan Theatres are pleased to announce the installation of their first screen with 23 D-BOX high-fidelity haptic recliner seats, located at Metropolitan Theatres’ flagship luxury cinema MetroLux Theatres at Outlets at San Clemente, located in South Orange County, California. Metropolitan is capitalizing on an emerging “post-covid” growing trend amongst moviegoers who are seeking unparalleled premium entertainment experiences. Audiences are excited to return to the theatre and are willing to pay more for a premium experience such as D-BOX, treating themselves to an enhanced and upgraded experience. Available in over 40 countries around the world, D-BOX has perfected the art of immersing people in the storyline by perfectly synchronizing the action on the screen with the movement, texture and vibrations in the seats.
“This first agreement with Metropolitan Theatres brings numerous potential growth opportunities for D BOX in the theatrical sector. Metropolitan currently operates 17 theatres and 94 screens in a diverse collection of historic properties and state-of-the-art multiplexes in California, Colorado, Idaho and Utah,” declared Sébastien Mailhot, President and CEO of D-BOX. “We have a good momentum, with the addition of 31 screens since the beginning of the fiscal year. This clearly demonstrates a market growing appetite for premium theatrical experience such as D-BOX.”
“We are excited to bring luxury movie viewing and dining to this community and to provide an entertainment complex that will be unique in its concept and experience.”
David Corwin, president of Metropolitan Theatres
“Rewarding our customers with innovation and new experiences are a big part of the reason we’ve been so successful. We are very happy to bring D-BOX to Metropolitan Theatres and firmly believe that this will give us a competitive edge that will solidify our Metrolux reputation as the source for premium entertainment.”
