Apart from facilities that include a dedicated entrance and valet parking, the venue will seat 553 people and feature eight screens that offer signature luxury and family-friendly concepts including KIDS, a new VIP cinema concept, and standard screens.

Mohamed Al-Hashemi, country manager KSA at Majid Al-Futtaim Ventures, said: “We’re eager to strengthen our relationships with leading master developers as we continue to introduce our highly acclaimed offering to new corners of the Kingdom. With cinema and entertainment being one of the fastest growing sectors locally, we are confident that this project with AREIC is one of many milestones along our journey to bring diverse entertainment and leisure options to a new generation of Saudi movie goers.”

On the occasion of signing the new agreement, AREIC Chief Executive Officer Abdulrahman Abaalkhail said: “From this agreement, we will contribute to the development of the entertainment sector in the Kingdom, in line with the 2030 vision, and to provide new job opportunities for Saudi youth.”
