The companies opened Canada’s first 4D auditorium at Cineplex Cinemas Yonge-Dundas in Toronto in 2016 and both reported a successful reception.
The set-up aims to make the traditional cinema experience more immersive through the use of special effects including motion-synchronised seats, wind, fog, rain, lightning, snow, bubble, vibration and scents.
Ellis Jacob, president and CEO of Cineplex said: “As part of this new agreement, Scotiabank Theatre Chinook in Calgary, Alberta, will be the first location to begin construction with the new, state-of-the-art auditorium.  4DX is a truly immersive cinema experience and we know Calgarians and all Canadians are really going to love it.”

Korean-based CJ 4Dplex is pushing its immersive 4DX cinema system deeper into Canada.
