Arc Cinema Preston: A New Benchmark in Cinematic Excellence
Recently, the city of Preston, UK, celebrated the spectacular grand opening of Arc Cinema Preston, an ultra-modern cinema nestled within the illustrious Animate entertainment complex. Situated next to the historic Market Hall, this cutting-edge venue is a cornerstone of a £45 million urban regeneration project, elevating the city's entertainment scene and offering visitors an unparalleled leisure experience.
The grand opening was graced by none other than Nick Park (CBE), the legendary British animator and BAFTA and Academy Award-winning creator of Wallace and Gromit. As part of the celebration, Park unveiled a striking four-foot-tall statue of Feathers McGraw, an iconic character from his acclaimed animated films.
Arc Cinema Preston features eight state-of-the-art auditoriums, two of which boast the HYPERSENSE system with massive screens and Dolby Atmos sound. Every hall is outfitted with luxurious recliner seating, ensuring ultimate comfort for all guests.
To achieve the highest standards in audio performance, the cinema was equipped with industry-leading sound solutions from MAG Cinema.
