Landmark Cinemas is expanding its premium moviegoing experience in Ontario with a Laser Ultra upgrade at its Bolton theatre, introducing advanced laser projection and Dolby Atmos immersive sound ahead of the 2026 holiday film season. The investment is part of the Calgary-based cinema operator’s broader strategy to modernize its theatres and strengthen its premium entertainment offerings across Canada.
Landmark Cinemas Brings Laser Ultra Technology to Bolton
BOLTON, Ontario — October 16, 2026 — Landmark Cinemas has announced plans to upgrade an auditorium at its Bolton location with Laser Ultra technology, offering moviegoers enhanced picture quality, immersive audio and luxury recliner seating.
The modernization will introduce laser projection designed to deliver greater brightness, improved colour reproduction and sharper image clarity compared with conventional projection systems.
The auditorium will also feature Dolby Atmos, an immersive audio technology that allows sound to be positioned and moved throughout a theatre environment, creating a more detailed and engaging listening experience.
The company said the investment reflects its continuing commitment to improving the theatrical experience as cinemas compete for audiences seeking premium entertainment options.
Enhanced Picture Quality, Sound and Seating
Laser Ultra combines several premium cinema features into a single auditorium experience, emphasizing visual performance, advanced sound technology and seating comfort.
Laser projection provides consistent illumination and enhanced image detail, helping audiences experience films with greater visual precision.
Dolby Atmos complements the projection system by delivering multidimensional sound, allowing audio effects to move around the auditorium rather than remaining confined to traditional speaker channels.
The Bolton location already offers reserved seating, Premiere Seats and recliner options. The Laser Ultra upgrade will build on those existing amenities by adding an enhanced audiovisual presentation.
Investment Supports Landmark Cinemas’ Canadian Theatre Network
The Bolton project forms part of Landmark Cinemas’ ongoing investment in its Canadian operations, where premium presentation formats have become an important component of the cinema experience.
“We’re pleased to be making this investment in our Bolton theatre and bringing Laser Ultra to the community,” said Ryan Dion, President of Operations, Landmark Cinemas. “Bolton is an important market for us, and this upgrade allows us to provide our guests with an enhanced presentation experience as we head into an exciting season of theatrical releases.”
The company has not disclosed the financial value of the Bolton upgrade or provided a specific completion date. However, it expects the enhanced auditorium to welcome audiences during the upcoming holiday movie season.
Major Film Releases Expected to Attract Holiday Audiences
Landmark Cinemas is positioning the upgraded auditorium to accommodate audiences for several highly anticipated theatrical releases.
The company identified Dune: Part Three and Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday among the major productions associated with the holiday season.
Large-scale science-fiction and superhero films are particularly suited to premium cinema formats because of their extensive visual effects, detailed sound design and large-screen presentation.
For cinema operators, such releases provide opportunities to encourage attendance in premium auditoriums and differentiate the theatrical experience from home entertainment.
