To date, Cinemark has constructed 137 XD auditoriums worldwide. The Cinemark XD auditorium at the Dayton South theater will be the first in the Dayton market, officials said.
The upgrades also will include a complete lobby and concession stand remodel.
“When completed, the newly renovated Dayton South theater will offer our guests the newest technology and latest amenities,” said Tim Warner, Cinemark’s chief executive, in a statement.
Officials said the theater will remain open for business during the remodel, and the renovation process is expected to be completed in time for the 2014 summer movie season.
Texas-based Cinemark completed the acquisition of 32 Rave theaters representing 483 screens in May, Warner said. The company operates theaters in Beavercreek, Huber Heights, Piqua and West Carrollton.
Cinemark in August opened a new 14-screen theater with an XD auditorium at Cincinnati’s Oakley Station development on the east side of Interstate 71 and Ridge Road. The Cinemark Oakley Station is the company’s first complex to be constructed in the Cincinnati market, officials said.
Cinemark, the nation’s third-largest theater chain, operates 504 theaters with 5,794 screens in 40 U.S. states, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and 10 other Latin American countries as of June 30.
