About Cinemark XD
XD is Cinemark's own premium large-format auditorium, with wall-to-wall screens, wrap-around sound and, in most locations, reclining seats. The company had 301 XD auditoriums at the end of 2025 and calls it the largest exhibitor-branded premium format in the world. Because the format belongs to Cinemark rather than to a licensor such as IMAX, it can programme any film on those screens without sharing revenue beyond ordinary film rental.
