About
Opened in 2019, this 12-screen complex spans several floors of Grandscape Ikebukuro, with a 'Time Gallery' of 140 film posters along the escalators. Its IMAX laser screen, around 25.8 by 18.9 m, is the largest in Japan, and the building also has ULTRA 4DX, ScreenX and BESTIA large-format auditoriums with Dolby Atmos. Time Out ranked it No. 33 among the world's 100 greatest cinemas in 2026.
