Cinesa La Maquinista Dolby Cinema

Barcelona · SpainEstimated

PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Dolby Cinema room B, 62/100 — a solid premium screen without being exceptional, 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.

One of the first Dolby Cinema sites in Europe. Listed on Dolby's official Dolby Cinema locations page (dolby.com/us/en/dolby-cinema/locations.html, May 2020 snapshot).

* 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.
