EVO® Entertainment to bring Dolby Vision+Atmos to 17 screens, Including World’s Largest Cinema Screen.
Deployment to include the world’s first multiplex fully equipped with both technologies.

Dallas, TX (April 15, 2026) — EVO® Entertainment announced today at CinemaCon a sweeping integration with Dolby Laboratories, bringing Dolby Vision+Atmos™ to 17 screens across eight cinema entertainment centers in Texas, New Mexico, and Florida. The majority of sites are being built from the ground up, blending next-generation design with EVO’s signature mix of cinema, bowling, gaming, and other family entertainment offerings.
“This partnership with Dolby represents an exciting step forward in how we think about the future of cinema,” said Mitch Roberts, Founder & CEO of Elevate® Entertainment Group. “From equipping all of our EVX® auditoriums with Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®, to building the largest cinema screen on earth — this is a bold expression of our commitment to pushing the boundaries of the theatrical experience and delivering unforgettable, differentiated experiences for our guests.”
At the center of this initiative is an 84,000 square foot entertainment destination in Clearwater, Florida. This flagship complex is set to become the first multiplex in the world featuring both Dolby Vision projection and immersive Dolby Atmos sound in every auditorium — delivering world-class premium presentation throughout the entire cinema. Additionally, the Clearwater EVX® premium large format auditorium is poised to be the largest cinema screen on earth, spanning more than 131 feet in width and towering over 72 feet tall.
“Exhibitors like EVO Entertainment understand that superior picture and sound quality are more than technical specs, but what deepen audience connection to the films they love and keep them returning,” said Jed Harmsen, VP and GM of Cinema & Group Entertainment, Dolby Laboratories. “When you combine Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, you create something truly special: an experience audiences proactively seek out again and again."
Dolby Vision+Atmos upgrades will begin deploying to existing EVX auditoriums immediately, with all 17 screens expected to be in operation by 2028.
