#IrishCinema: Omniplex Mahon Point in Cork opens second MAXX screen

Omniplex Cinemas, Ireland’s largest multiplex cinema chain has announced the opening of a second OmniplexMAXX screen at Mahon Point, Cork today (March 24th).

Hot on the heels of a €4 Million investment to the 13-screen cinema in 2013, Omniplex has invested a further €300,000 which also includes an extension to the shop area and a new Customer Information and Advance Sales point.

The demand for OmniplexMAXX in Cork has been exceptional since the opening of the first MAXX screen at Mahon Point four years ago.  As with all Omniplex locations, we remain committed to providing the best cinema experience possible.  Last year the MAXX screen was upgraded with Dolby Atmos and this year, MAXX Vol.2 launches with the same state of the art sound, super-sized Cinemascope screen and superior seating as part of our continued investment in Omniplex Cork.  We have doubled our MAXX audience capacity to cater for the demand from Cork audiences, our busiest Omniplex cinema in the Republic.
Mark Anderson, Managing Director of Omniplex Group

According to Omniplex, OmniplexMAXX provides the ultimate cinema experience available, immersing the viewer in the movie using three key features; screen, sound and seats.  With a new, curved auditorium for optimal viewing pleasure, OmniplexMAXX features a giant silver screen, 15.5 metres wide, with HD Digital projection.  This is combined with state of the art Dolby Atmos sound system, filling the room with ‘moving audio’ which flows around each and every spectator.  The new and spacious MAXX Vol.2 auditorium at Mahon Point hosts 242 customers at full capacity, all experiencing this phenomenal visual and aural delight from the comfort of bespoke red leather rocker chairs.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will show in both MAXX1 and MAXX Vol.2 screens at Omniplex Mahon Point from today.  Omniplex Cork customers can also look forward to seeing the highly-anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in MAXX Vol.2 from April 28th.  Advance booking for all Omniplex screenings is recommended.  For bookings, ticket pricing and news from Omniplex, see www.omniplex.ie.
