Cineworld Hounslow opens with an exciting celebratory gala

We're delighted to announce that Cineworld Hounslow is now open, enabling movie fans in that part of West London to catch all the latest releases in the kind of stunning quality that Cineworld is renowned for.

Cineworld Hounslow is the town's first-ever cinema – so it's no wonder that a glitzy gala celebration was held at the venue a few weeks after its 5 May opening. Following some excitable chit-chat and a generous helping of nibbles, guests were invited to attend a screening of Top Gun: Maverick, the spectacular Top Gun sequel that reinstates Tom Cruise in his signature role of fighter pilot Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell.

So, what's so special about Cineworld Hounslow? Watch the video and read the Q&A below for all the essential details.

Where is Cineworld Hounslow located and how many screens does it have?

The brand-new Cineworld Hounslow complex is located in the town's High Street Quarter and features no fewer than 10 state-of-the-art screens.

Does Cineworld Hounslow have ScreenX?

Yes, among the 10 screens at Cineworld Hounslow is a brand-new ScreenX auditorium.

Movies feel like masterpieces when seen in ScreenX, which delivers a breathtaking 270-degree, wraparound viewing experience to put the audience right at the heart of the drama.

Exclusive to Cineworld in the UK, ScreenX uses up to 12 additional projectors to extend the film onto the side walls of the auditorium, meaning the action literally surrounds you in your seat.

Cineworld Hounslow has opened just in time to show the new blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick in ScreenX. The long-awaited sequel to the 1986 classic Top Gun has been praised for its immersive flight sequences, and these become even more lifelike in ScreenX, thrusting you behind the controls of an F-14 Tomcat alongside the movie's star, Tom Cruise.

Is Superscreen available at Cineworld Hounslow?

Yes, Cineworld Hounslow offers the Superscreen experience, in which movie-watching is taken to a whole new level by cutting-edge projection and superb multidimensional sound powered by epic Dolby Atmos speakers. The level of immersion will take your breath away.

One film that's coming to Superscreen soon is Baz Luhrmann's riotously colourful biopic Elvis (released 24 June). Feel those hips shake and hear those crowds scream as Austin Butler brings his uncanny impersonation of the King to the big screen. It's guaranteed to be a rock 'n' roll treat.
