The resounding success and enthusiastic response from audiences prompted Phoenix Theatres to extend this remarkable sound innovation to Laurel Park.

With the imminent release of "Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour" film, the installation of Dolby ATMOS at Laurel Park was expedited to ensure that audiences can indulge in the unparalleled audio quality from day one. The commitment to elevating the cinematic experience doesn't stop there. Phoenix Theatres is embarking on a comprehensive renovation project, which encompasses several upgrades.

The upcoming transformation will include the installation of new heated reclining seats in the auditorium, ensuring that viewers can enjoy the film in absolute comfort. Enhancing the overall film presentation by creating an immersive and distraction-free environment by turning the auditorium in to a Black Box. Moreover, the addition of tactile transducer technology, or Butt Kickers, will further elevate the cinematic experience. These tactile transducers will be seamlessly integrated into the seats, allowing audiences to feel the deep bass and vibrations, enhancing the sensation of being a part of the on-screen action.
