Cinemark Playa Vista and XD Cinemark XD
Los Angeles · United StatesSingle source
PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Cinemark XD room C, 35/100 — a modest premium screen, with no published dimensions, so the size score rests on an estimate. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 September 2026.
California, USA. One of the largest XD auditoriums with a documented figure: 70ft (21.3m) wide screen, 450 seats, 60+ speakers. Dimensions from the general contractor (The Beck Group), who called it one of the most technologically advanced theatres Cinemark had opened to that date. Opened 2015. IMPORTANT: no source establishes this as the single largest XD - Cinemark has never published a ranking or a per-site dimension list across its 301 XD auditoriums.

The projector here comes from a 2021 industry listing that we haven't been able to re-confirm. IMAX has converted a lot of screens to laser since — where we could check, 100 venues listed as xenon had been upgraded. Treat the score as indicative.
Why IQ 35
* This venue has never published its screen dimensions. Size is scored on a deliberately conservative estimate, so an unmeasured screen can't out-rank a measured one on guesswork.
