Cinema giant reveals refurbishment plans for multiscreen venue

Odeon has given cinema fans a taste of what they can expect from its revamped multi-screen venue in Dundee.

The Odeon Luxe will have 903 fully-reclining seats across 10 screens, with more leg-room, comfort and individual retractable tables. They will include a 171-seat iSense screen with an "immersive, ultra-high-definition cinema experience", 4K projection and Dolby ATMOS 3D sound.

And in tribute to the city's cartoon history, the cinema on Douglas Road will be given a comic mural celebrating the city’s history.

The revamp is due to be complete by late November, in time for winter blockbusters including Frozen 2 (22 November), Charlie’s Angels (29 November) and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (19 December). In the meantime, the cinema will remain open.

Dundee is one of 21 others around the UK to get a Luxe refurbishment.

ODEON Luxe Dundee general manager Kim Thorne said: “We are so delighted to be celebrating not only the opening of our fantastic new ODEON Luxe Dundee, but also the city’s incredible contribution to the comic book industry, which of course inspired many modern blockbusters.

"We hope all Dundee locals feel a sense of pride as they walk through our doors and see the astounding comic mural inside, and we can’t wait to welcome all of our guests to experience the new ODEON Luxe Dundee.”
