(EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ) — In an exciting development for film lovers and entertainment fans, American Dream is pleased to announce the opening of B&B Theatres, a world-class cinema and entertainment venue featuring the largest ScreenX auditorium in the world.

The new venue at the American Dream will feature eight screens with the latest cinema technology, including the ScreenX, multiple bowling lanes, a full arcade and a variety of food and beverage options including a full-service restaurant and bar. The facility will offer an unparalleled presentation thanks to state-of-the-art laser projection, wall-sized curved screens and heated, electric leather seating in each auditorium.

ScreenX, developed by CJ 4DPLEX, is the world's first multi-projection cinema that enhances the traditional cinema experience by seamlessly extending the screens to the surrounding walls of the cinema hall. This revolutionary approach provides viewers with an immersive 270-degree panoramic experience. Through its unique presentation of key scenes and exclusive stage elements, ScreenX immerses audiences in an unprecedented visual environment and redefines the cinema experience.

“We are thrilled that B&B Theaters is bringing this one-of-a-kind cinematic experience to American Dream, providing our guests with another exceptional, immersive entertainment experience,” said Bryan Gaus, senior vice president and general manager of American Dream. “American Dream truly offers something for everyone with endless opportunities to relax, have fun and spend quality time with friends and family.”

B&B Theatres CEO Bob Bagby shed some more light on the exclusive amenities, commenting on ScreenX in one of the venue's Grand Screen auditoriums: “ScreenX is the world's first multi-projection platform, meaning the film will play not only on the screen in front, but also on the two side walls. It's a remarkable presentation and we're excited to announce that the American Dream ScreenX will be the largest in the world.”

This venue is designed to be a destination for families, film lovers and anyone looking for an out-of-the-ordinary getaway. This will complement American Dream's extensive retail, dining, events and entertainment offerings.
