CJ 4DPLEX and Palace Amusement® to Launch First Ever 4DX Theater in Jamaica
4DX tests traditional movie-going boundaries through a multi-sensory experience that incorporates motion-based seating synchronized with more than 21 different effects. 4DX connects audiences with movies through motion, vibration, water, wind, snow, lightning, scents, and other special effects that enhance the visuals on-screen.
Don Savant , President & CEO, CJ 4DPLEX America, stated, "We're thrilled to embark on this exciting business venture with Palace Amusement. We look forward to working closely with them to elevate the cinematic experience for audiences in Jamaica and deliver exceptional differentiated premium entertainment."
"Palace Amusement has always been on the cutting-edge of technology and dedicated to bringing the best experiences to the island. We are delighted to join CJ 4DPLEX and their state-of-the-art 4DX. We are sure that the Jamaican movie-goers will love the multi-sensory premium format," said Douglas Graham , CEO of Palace Amusement.
"Having worked with Douglas Graham for over 25 years, I'm aware of Palace Amusement's commitment to the film industry.

This new partnership arrangement paves the way for the potential expansion of CJ 4DPLEX premium formats on the island, including ScreenX, which reimagines the way movies are experienced. The revolutionary format seamlessly extends the screens onto the surrounding walls of the auditorium, delivering a 270-degree panoramic viewing adventure. Through its unique presentation of key scenes and exclusive elements, ScreenX immerses audiences in an unparalleled visual environment.
