Regal - Irvine Spectrum

Regal Irvine Spectrum's 158,930 SF renovation transformed the theater into a showcase of cutting-edge cinema technology. The project delivered a completely new entrance and lobby with LED and digital signage, a bar, Lavazza coffee shop, and B-Fresh smoothie shop, alongside laser projection and sound upgrades in all auditoriums. Premium experiences include IMAX's most advanced theater offering, a Pepsi 4DX auditorium with motion-synchronized seats and sensory effects like wind, fog, rain, and scent, a ScreenX auditorium providing 270-degree panoramic viewing, and an RPX auditorium featuring Dolby Atmos surround sound and laser projection in a custom-built environment.
