The 18-screen Muvi Cinema is the largest cinema in Saudi Arabia, and is the latest in the ongoing roll-out of cinema developments for the Muvi brand across the country.
The new Muvi Mall of Dhahran features 318 seats along with a number of cinema formats including ScreenX, ONYX and Muvi Suites as well as standard theatres. The design for the innovative cinema complex has a theme of urban downtown, with the intention of creating a dynamic, modern and memorable cinema experience. Internal spaces are characterised by an industrial, yet luxurious, material palette, including timber, exposed steelwork, exposed brickwork and an exposed concrete floor.
In 2019, Chapman Taylor was engaged by Fawaz Al Hokair group to design and deliver a series of state-of-the art cinemas for their Muvi Cinemas brand, the first Saudi-owned cinema chain. The project was delivered under the guidance of Dubai studio Design Manager Rebecca Farmer, who has considerable experience in the successful delivery of technically complex cinema developments.
