‘Star Wars’ to arrive at Cosm domes ahead of 50th anniversary

The film will play on Cosm’s massive concave screens, which are designed to fill much of a viewer’s peripheral vision. The company’s domes feature stadium-style seating, with booths and tables on each level, creating the sensation of being inside the onscreen environment.

“We are thrilled to add the Disney partnership,” Alexis Scalice, head of Cosm Studios, told CNBC. Scalice said the company looks for anniversary and commemorative moments as opportunities to celebrate with fans and build partnerships that benefit both parties.

The Disney collaboration will be Cosm’s sixth theatrical partnership with a Hollywood studio. The company has previously worked with Warner Bros. to screen “The Matrix,” “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “It.” Cosm is also set to launch immersive screenings of Universal’s “Shrek” in December.
