The first nationally owned and operating cinema chain in Saudi Arabia, Muvi Cinemas, has opened its first location in the Mall of Arabia in Jeddah.

Muvi

The opening, last Saturday, was a venue operated by Next Generation Company, and the event was attended by Turki bin Abdiullah Al-Shabanah, the Saudi Media Minister.

The venue will accommodate 1,950 guests and has 15 screens. Its suites offer luxurious, fully-motorised, reclining leather chairs with footrests and the comfortable customers can then view their entertainment provided by Barco high-res laser projectors and listen through a Dolby Atmos surround system.

The Xperience screen also has seat with cellphone chargers and extended legroom while at ScreenX there are multi projectors working in tandem to project a realistic panoramic image on the main screen and on side walls simultaneously.

The ultimate is the Muvi Suite, with a private lounge to go with the top-level amenities.

Coming soon is the Junior Screen for children in their own room to simultaneously play on creative pastimes and draw, play in a ball pit and enter the viewing room through a slide to watch their movie.

Now Muvi will launch 250 new screens across KSA over the next two years.
