Kinepolis Madrid Ciudad de la Imagen Laser ULTRA by Kinepolis

Madrid · SpainEstimated

PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Laser ULTRA by Kinepolis 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.

Guinness record holder as the largest cinema complex in the world by seats: 9,200 seats across 25 screens, opened 1998. Individual auditoria seat 211 to 996. Its largest screen 'roza los 250 m2' (approaches 250 sq m) - AREA ONLY, dimensions never published, hence nulls. One of the four launch sites for Laser ULTRA in Dec 2014; also carries IMAX and 4DX. Seats field left null because the 9,200 figure is the complex total, not an auditorium.

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.

* 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.
