Kinepolis Brussels Explained

Kinepolis Brussels is a cinema complex on the Heysel/Heizel Plateau in Brussels, Belgium, owned by the Kinepolis Group.

History

In November 1988, Kinepolis Brussels was opened by Kinepolis as the first branch of the European chain, with 25 screens and 7,600 seats,^[1] credited as being both the first and the then-largest cinema Megaplex in the world.^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]}

‌The IMAX in the Brussels Kinepolis complex was open from 1988 until the end of 2005. The hall was closed due to a shortage of available content. On 16 November 2016, Kinepolis announced the reopening of the hall. It is equipped with laser projection and IMAX's new 12.1 sound technology. At the time, the screen was the largest IMAX screen in Europe with a surface area of 532m².^{[10] [11]}
