Dolby Atmos Installed in 20 Additional RPX: Regal Premium Experience Theatres

Next-generation sound systems installed in time for Warner Bros. Man of Steel

SAN FRANCISCO & KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYS: DLB) and Regal Entertainment Group (NYS: RGC) , a leading motion picture exhibitor that owns and operates the largest theatre circuit in the United States, announced today that Regal recently installed Dolby^® Atmos^TMin 20 of its big-screen RPX^®: Regal Premium Experience theatres.

"Dolby Atmos is a great new addition to what makes movie theatre sound such a superior environment for viewing films, and it enhances the immersive experience," stated Rob Del Moro, Chief Purchasing Officer, Regal Entertainment Group. "We're all familiar with the evolution of image clarity that came with digital cinema. Now, Dolby Atmos can provide greater definition and dimension to moviegoing as sound moves around the auditorium with precision placement to match the action as the filmmakers intended."

Dolby's new audio platform has been quickly adopted by major studios, directors, and sound teams. With Dolby Atmos, content creators have advanced tools for expressing their artistic vision and enable powerful storytelling.

"Dolby Atmos lets filmmakers decide where specific sounds should be placed or moved within an auditorium to make audiences feel as if they, too, are in the middle of the onscreen action," said Doug Darrow, Senior Vice President, Cinema, Dolby Laboratories. "It is a real paradigm shift from traditional approaches like 5.1, 7.1, and 11.1, where filmmakers had to think about channels and the number and location of speakers."

Currently, Dolby Atmos is playing in RPX at Regal E-Walk Stadium 13 on 42nd Street in Manhattan and Regal Hacienda Crossings Stadium 20 outside San Francisco. Regal added Dolby Atmos in time for the June 14 opening of Man of Steel at these locations:

About Dolby Atmos

Dolby Laboratories is equipping the cinema world with its new Dolby Atmos technology. Dolby Atmos unleashes the potential of sound in storytelling by providing sound experts the creative freedom to easily place or move specific sounds anywhere in the movie theatre, not just where there happen to be speakers. The result is what moviegoers have described as the most engaging and lifelike cinema sound experience ever.

Introduced in April 2012, Dolby Atmos has been embraced by major studios, award-winning directors and sound teams, and leading exhibitors worldwide. Nearly 45 films around the world have been released or are scheduled to be released with Dolby Atmos sound since the first film was released in June 2012. In 2013, the Cinema Audio Society gave Dolby Atmos its coveted Technical Achievement Award for Post Production.
