CANTON, Mich. (WXYZ) — Emagine Entertainment Inc. will soon bring the midwest's largest CinemaScope screen to its Canton location.

More than 94 feet wide, the new EMAX screen will combine a 4K laser-projected image with a Dolby Atmos immersive sound system.

"We are resolved to continually enhance the quality of the theatrical experience," Chairman Paul Glantz said. "Nothing beats watching a blockbuster film on a 94 foot screen from the comfort of a heated reclining chair.”

With the new addition, the Canton location will be more than 90,000 square feet and have 20 screens. The Canton location is also creating a new 24-seat screening room and party space.

"We have personalized the movie-going experience like never before with private screening room opportunities allowing guests the ability to control volume, sounds, lights and even pause or rewind films," said Anthony LaVerdee, CEO of Emagine Entertainment Inc, in a press release. "With the addition of an even larger in Southeast Michigan, our guests will enjoy a viewing experience like no other.”

The grand opening is set for December 2019 and will feature the upcoming Star Wars movie, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker."
