Dolby Laboratories to Bring Dolby Cinema to India, Delivering a Premium Cinema Experience for Moviegoers
LAS VEGAS, NV – March 31, 2025 – Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, announced that it will bring Dolby Cinema® to India this year, marking a new era in premium cinema going experiences. City Pride in Pune, Allu Cineplex in Hyderabad, LA Cinema in Trichy, AMB Cinemas in Bengaluru, EVM Cinemas in Kochi, and G Cineplex in Ulikkal will be the first six exhibitors to open Dolby Cinema screens in India.
Dolby Cinema is set to transform how Indian audiences experience movies, offering them the opportunity to see and hear stories exactly as the filmmakers intended. This milestone not only sets a new benchmark for premium cinema experiences in India but also reinforces Dolby’s commitment to elevating entertainment through innovation.
A premium cinema offering for moviegoers, Dolby Cinema combines state-of-the-art picture and sound. With Dolby Vision, the picture comes alive with amazing brightness and darker darks to offer a more lifelike sense of depth, rendering colours and detail unlike other movie screens. Studio grade Dolby Atmos transports guests inside the story with sound that flows all around them, including overhead. The sound in the cinema envelops viewers, making the story their reality. Dolby Cinema fully realizes the filmmaker’s intent, putting moviegoers in the middle of the action. Combined with the Dolby Cinema design, all seats in the auditorium will be optimized to ensure every seat offers a “best seat in the house” experience for movie fans.
"The launch of Dolby Cinema in India is a pivotal moment for the country’s entertainment sector," said Michael Archer, Vice President of Worldwide Cinema Sales and Partner Management, Dolby Laboratories. “Indian audiences are passionate about movies, and Dolby Cinema is the ultimate moviegoing experience. Since the opening of the first Dolby Cinema in 2014, Dolby Cinema has grown rapidly, encompassing 35 exhibitor partners and 14 countries. This announcement underscores our commitment to advancing cinematic storytelling, working closely with filmmakers, studios, and exhibitors to deliver extraordinary entertainment experiences."
A crucial step in bringing Dolby Cinema to India has been ensuring filmmakers have access to world-class post-production facility. In addition to 24 Dolby Atmos theatrical mix facilities in India, Dolby recently collaborated with Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad, to setup India’s first Dolby Vision color grading facility for cinema, empowering Indian filmmakers with cutting-edge tools to enhance their visual storytelling.
