Cabanatuan folks will be the first to experience SM Cinema’s very first large format screen at the to-be-launched SM Cabanatuan on Oct.9.

Branded as SM Large Screen Cinema, the super-sized screen stretches the limits of one’s peripheral vision to the maximum and gives the audience a larger-than-life experience.

Capable of 3D movies on its high-resolution format, SM Large Screen Cinema uses a silver screen which ensures brighter and clearer images on display, and uses a superb sound system to deliver an immersive and unparalleled sound experience. 

A standard SM Large Screen Cinema set up has accommodations for 507 guests, seating patrons in a stadium-like setting much similar to an IMAX theater.

Also offering high-quality theaters, SM Cinema will open five fully digitized theaters that promise to deliver the best possible movie-watching experience. SM Cinema Cabanatuan will have 294 well-appointed seats per theater, making certain all patrons will enjoy the view from any seat they choose. 

As a standard in all SM Cinemas, the facility apportions an area dedicated to persons with disabilities (PWD) to accommodate all varieties of guests. The cinemas also boast of crisp digital surround-sound systems and crystal clear images to deliver the best theater experience.
