CJ 4DPlex's multi-sensory 4DX experience has also garnered several record-breaking numbers with Top Gun: Maverick. The movie is the top performing film in the 4DX format this year with more than $20.6 million in ticket sales across 438 auditoriums, without Korea's screens, which are set to open this week.

Top Gun: Maverick in 4DX puts you directly into the cockpit, as you feel every twist and turn in a multi-sensory cinema-going experience. 4DX utilizes motion, vibration, water, wind, snow, lightning, scents, and other special effects that enhance the visuals on-screen. Each auditorium incorporates motion-based seating synchronized with more than 21 different effects.

CJ 4DPlex worked closely with director Joe Kosinski and Paramount Pictures on selecting the most immersive scenes for ScreenX and carefully crafted the motion and effects for 4DX to ensure the highest quality presentation of the film.

"The increase in audiences and our record-breaking box office results reinforces the strong word-of mouth around the film for both of our formats, many of whom are returning to see the movie in a completely unique presentation," said Jongryul Kim, CEO, CJ 4DPlex. "We hope that movie fans who have discovered ScreenX and 4DX for the first time will experience other great films that can't be seen anywhere else."

"Premium formats like ScreenX and 4DX are helping drive audiences to see this spectacular film in different ways and it shows in the numbers, even a month after a massive opening weekend," said Marc Weinstock, president, worldwide marketing and distribution, Paramount Pictures. "We are thrilled with seeing movie fans continue to come out and see this epic blockbuster on the big screen in these new and exciting formats."
