Kinepolis Group Partners With Pixelworks to Bring TrueCut Motion to Laser Ultra Screens Kinepolis Group has agreed a partnership with Pixelworks to bring TrueCut Motion technology to its Laser Ultra premium large format screens, supporting wider exhibition of TrueCut Motion‑enhanced theatrical releases.
The deal focuses on delivering higher motion clarity and consistency for filmmakers’ preferred look across different viewing platforms, which could make Kinepolis’ premium screens more distinctive for moviegoers.
Kinepolis shares trade at €35.35, with the stock up 40.6% over the past 90 days.
For shareholders, this partnership feeds into the push to make the cinema outing feel different from watching at home, particularly for premium tickets where picture quality matters most. The key watchpoint is whether content owners release enough films mastered in TrueCut Motion and whether customers are willing to pay a premium for the format across the Kinepolis Laser Ultra estate.
