IMAX has 9 screens, ScreenX has 5 screens, 4DX has the largest number of 24 screens and FLEXOUND has 2 cinemas in Japan, 1 screen for the first dinning cinema in Japan, and also operates art screens. At our movie theatres, we think about the concept for each store and change the design. That is because there is an idea that a movie theater should be built that meets the needs of the local people and the concept of commercial facilities.
