A cinema structure and a method for facilitating projecting and viewing a motion picture

Abstract

A cinema structure (1) comprises an auditorium (3) having a flat planar screen (10) onto which images of a motion picture is projected by a projector (12) located adjacent a rear wall (5) of the auditorium (3). Seating (14) comprising rows (15) of seats (16) are supported on tiered plinths (18) which are tiered at an angle a of approximately 25 DEG . A front row (15a) of the seats (16) is formed in two parts, namely, a left-hand part (44a) and a right-hand part (44b) on a front plinth (18a), which is also formed in two parts, namely, a left-hand part (42a) and a right-hand part (42b). The left and right-hand parts of the front row (15a) and the front plinth (18) define central gaps (45,43, respectively) in order to accommodate the projected beam of the motion picture uninterrupted from the projector (12) to the screen (10).; The rows (15) of seats (16) are pitched at a horizontal pitch (P1) of 1,300mm, and each plinth (18) is at a vertical height (h^ of approximately 600mm above its adjacent plinth (18). The front plinth (18a) is at a height of approximately 1,200mm above a floor (8) of the auditorium (3). The screen (10) extends substantially the width of a front end wall (4) between opposite side walls (6) of the auditorium (3), and extends substantially the full height of the front end wall (4) between the floor (8) and the ceiling (9) of the auditorium (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a movie theater structure, and the present invention relates to a method of facilitating the screening and viewing of films. Background technique [0002] As is well known, movie theaters and movie theater structures include a movie theater in which films are projected by projectors on screens for viewing by patrons in the movie theater. Typically, the screens are positioned near the front of the auditorium, and film images are projected onto the screens from projectors near the rear of the auditorium. Typically, the seats in a theater are arranged in tiers and sloped in a generally upward direction from the screen. However, as a rule, patrons seated in seats in the cinema hall known so far do not have a particularly intimate experience of viewing the film image on the screen, because they generally do not feel the plot of the film. This is largely due to the construction of this type of cinema. [0003] Therefore, t...
