This eagerly anticipated launch promises to bring an unparalleled level of audio-visual immersion for Sri Lankan moviegoers, marking a milestone moment for entertainment in the country. IMAX is renowned globally for its cutting-edge technology and unique film presentation capabilities.

Accordingly, the IMAX theatre at Scope Cinemas Multiplex – Havelock City will feature IMAX with laser – a next-gen laser projection system – delivering the most advanced theatre experience to date. This tech will be coupled with IMAX precision sound for breathtaking audio and IMAX Immersion by design seating, with stadium-style seating for clear viewing at every seat. 

Scope Cinemas is Sri Lanka’s first multi-sensory luxury entertainment company and has been a trailblazer in the local cinema industry since 2017. The company first made waves when it introduced its reliable online booking system.

This innovative approach eliminated the hassle of long queues and offered the convenience of selecting seats and ordering food and beverage online. Scope Cinemas further enhanced the customer experience with its mobile app, allowing users to make reservations and food orders effortlessly from their smartphones.

Scope Cinemas Director and CEO Thushan Rangana Meemanage expressing his excitement stated, “Our IMAX theatre will be the crown jewel in our network and we are proud to be able to bring this experience to Sri Lanka for the first time.
