Cinepolis with 14-screen megaplex is now open in Muscat

Cinepolis Cinemas, the third largest cinema exhibitor in the world, launched its first luxury offering in Muscat – a 14-screen megaplex at Avenues Mall in Bausher over the weekend. Ashish Shukla, CEO of Cinépolis Gulf, said: “Cinepolis is bringing to Oman its globally recognised experiences. We know how much the community in Muscat loves movies, and we are relishing the opportunity to present a wonderful cinema experience that can be enjoyed by all.

Film fans in Muscat are invited to discover the very best cinema experience in our brand-new, state-of-the-art theatre that merges fantastic audio and visual technology with wonderful food, comfort and hospitality at a great affordable price point starting at RO 3.” The first ever luxury offering from Cinépolis Cinemas in the Middle East will offer movie-goers access to four luxurious screens, which will include 180-degree leather reclining seats with personal amenities, Maitre d’ call buttons and adjustable tables. The Muscat theatre will also feature a Junior screen. Another cinematic experience that catapults Cinepolis Cinemas ahead of the competition is the state-of-the-art 4D E-motion experience.

Featuring Oman’s second Junior Auditorium, the one-of-a-kind cinema has been designed to allow families to enjoy their favourite movies in a welcoming and fun space that expertly caters to parents and youngsters needs. The junior theatre features a colourful jungle gym, complete with slide and ball pits, as well as fun bean bag seating.

Every screening shown in the junior auditorium will include a 15-minute intermission to allow restless children to take a break, enjoy some snacks or play a while. Only films rated G or PG will be shown in the junior auditorium. The theatre also boasts one macro screen that is complete with Dolby Atmos surround sound that creates a powerful audio experience.

Guests can relax with three super-comfortable seating options (recliner, deluxe or premium) all with an uninterrupted view of the screen with rocking or fully reclining leather chairs available. Visitors will be able to enjoy a premium range of delicious movie treats including caramel popcorn and nachos or opt for an espresso drink expertly prepared by in-house baristas at the specialty coffee shop, ‘Coffee Tree’.

Cinepolis will have regular screenings of Hollywood, Arabic, Bollywood and local hit movies taking place each day. A movie will start every 20 minutes throughout the day to be sure and give multiple showtime options to their guests.
