In order to thwart Netflix off, the theaters are now planning to add a three-screen immersion.

The ScreenX three-screen system has been a huge success in South Korea since 2012. It’s a multi-projection system that fills each theatre with three screens. While the middle screen shows all the action, the other two screens help in expanding those scnes.
