Twentieth Century Fox’s Deadpool was released today in Dolby Cinema.Disney, Lionsgate, and Twentieth Century Fox will release four live-action and animated feature films for Dolby Cinema around the world. The first of the new titles will be Twentieth Century Fox’s Deadpool, in theatres February 12. Additional titles include Disney’s Zootopia, in theatres March 4; Lionsgate’s The Divergent Series: Allegiant, in theatres March 18; and Lionsgate’s Now You See Me 2, in theatres June 10.

Featuring Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Dolby Cinema is a premium cinema offering for exhibitors and moviegoers that combines spectacular image and sound technologies with inspired design to make every visit a completely captivating cinematic event.

“With the announcement of the new slate of highly anticipated animated and live-action stories, audiences will get to experience a variety of theatrical titles with vivid imagery and immersive sound when visiting a Dolby Cinema,” said Curt Behlmer, senior vice president, content solutions and industry relations, Dolby Laboratories. “Collaborating with the world’s leading creatives in Hollywood, we are able to provide an extraordinary cinema experience to audiences around the world.”

“We pride ourselves on embracing the latest technology that helps bring our stories to life for all of our tent-pole releases, and the use of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for The Revenant and The Martian are testaments to the value Dolby can deliver to Hollywood movies,” said Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution, Twentieth Century Fox. “Dolby Vision is a great tool as hundreds of colors play a major role in our storytelling, along with the moving audio of Dolby Atmos—these technologies will forever change the way moviegoers watch our films.”

Lionsgate’s The Divergent Series: Allegiant continues the science-fiction dystopian saga, with Tris and Four venturing into the world beyond the wall, where they are taken into protective custody by a mysterious agency known as the Bureau of Genetic Welfare.

In Lionsgate’s Now You See Me 2, the Four Horsemen return. One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin Hood–style magic spectacles, the team resurfaces for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate.

In addition to Disney’s previously announced live-action film The Jungle Book, due out April 15, the Walt Disney Animation Studios feature Zootopia will be released for Dolby Cinema. The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy, so Officer Judy Hopps jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.
