Jim and Aurora are forced to unravel the mystery behind the malfunction as the ship teeters on the brink of collapse, jeopardizing the lives of the passengers on the greatest mass migration in human history. Directed by Morten Tyldum. Produced by Neal H. Moritz, Stephen Hamel, Michael Maher, and Ori Marmur. Written by Jon Spaihts. Dolby Cinema will truly immerse audiences in the intimate story of Passengers, making them feel like they are on the spaceship, experiencing the emotions and feelings of Aurora and Jim on their epic adventure.

When I first experienced Dolby Vision, I saw details the camera captured but had never been able to see before on screen, which is a game changer for me as a director, said Ben Affleck. Live by Night is shot and scored in a way that will truly be appreciated by the audience when experienced in Dolby Cinema with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos sound.

An adaptation of Dennis Lehane s 2012 crime novel of the same name, Warner Bros. Live by Night, directed adapted, and produced by and starring Academy Award winner Affleck, tells the story of Joe Coughlin, a WWI vet and self-proclaimed anti-establishment outlaw, despite being the son of the Boston Police Deputy Superintendent. Joes not all bad, though; in fact, hes not really bad enough for the life hes chosen. Unlike the gangsters he refuses to work for, he has a sense of justice and an open heart, and both work against him, leaving him vulnerable time and again in business and in love. Driven by a need to right the wrongs committed against him and those close to him, Joe heads down a risky path that goes against his upbringing and his own moral code. Leaving the cold, Boston winter behind, he and his reckless crew turn up the heat in Tampa. And while revenge may taste sweeter than the molasses that infuses every drop of illegal rum he runs, Joe will learn that it comes at a price.

Paramount Pictures xXx: Return of Xander Cage takes audiences on an adventure with extreme athlete turned government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel). Coming out of self-imposed exile, thought to be long dead, Xander is set on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior Xiang (Donnie Yen) and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandoras Box. Recruiting an all-new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself enmeshed in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of world governments.
