Third title in the West End Theatre Series to be the first ever Event Cinema release in Dolby Atmos.

Digital Theatre and CinemaLive are working with Dolby on the UK cinema release of Ghosts.

The third title in the West End Theatre Series will be the first ever Event Cinema release in Dolby Atmos.

Tom Shaw, Digital Theatre, commented: “Digital Theatre is thrilled Ghosts is the first ever live production captured on film to feature Dolby Atmos. Cinema audiences will experience the benefits of ultra-surround sound, moving ever closer to recreating on screen the thrill and sensation of being in the theatre.”

“This is a hugely significant step in the Event Cinema movement, with the technology moving us another step closer to bringing the immersive experience of watching live theatre to a wider audience,” added Helen Jones, CinemaLive.

Richard Eyre’s multi award-winning revival production of Ghosts sold out at the Almeida Theatre before transferring to the West End’s Trafalgar Studios. It will be screened in over 250 cinemas across the UK and Ireland on June 26.

The Dolby Atmos screenings will be at Vue Cramlington, Vue Glasgow Fort, Vue Gateshead and Showcase Leeds, before a showing a Olympic Barnes London on July 10.
