HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ 4DPLEX, the world's leading producer of premium film formats and cinema technologies, and EVT, owners of Event Cinemas, the largest movie exhibitor in Australia and New Zealand, announced today they have broadened their partnership to bring more 4DX theatres to Australia. This expanded deal will bring three additional 4DX theaters to the country, with two set to open before Christmas 2024 at Event Cinemas Castle Hill, NSW, and Event Cinemas Innaloo, Western Australia, with a third location opening next year.

Jun Bang, CEO, CJ 4DPLEX, added, "4DX offers Australian audiences a cinema experience that simply can't be replicated at home. The combination of motion-synchronized seating and environmental effects transports audiences directly into the heart of the action—something only the big screen can deliver.
"Our growing partnership with EVT's Event Cinemas allows us to deliver the groundbreaking 4DX experience to more Australian moviegoers, transforming the way audiences connect with their favorite films," stated Don Savant, Chief Business Officer, CJ 4DPLEX. "This expansion reflects our commitment to providing dynamic film experiences worldwide, and we're thrilled to see Australian audiences embrace the power of 4DX."
CJ 4DPLEX and EVT have been pioneering cinematic advancements in Australia since the launch of the first 4DX theater in 2018. As demand for premium film formats grows, this expanded footprint signals both companies' dedication to meeting the needs of a rapidly evolving entertainment landscape.

The ScreenX format lets moviegoers experience key scenes from each film in a stunning, 270-degree panoramic view that is displayed across dual-sided screens.

CJ 4DPLEX and EVT Expand 4DX Footprint in Australia with Three New Theaters
Multi-phase, multi-region rollout will deliver advanced AMD AI silicon and the open AMD ROCm software stack to frontier-model, enterprise, and sovereign AI customers across global markets
SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OneQode, a global provider of mission-critical digital infrastructure, today announced a collaboration with AMD to deploy AMD Instinct™ GPUs, as well as announcing plans to deploy AMD Helios rack-scale solution as the platform foundation for OneQode's global AI infrastructure rollout.
OneQode plans a phased rollout anchored by AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs in initial deployments and incorporating AMD Helios solution in the future. The deployment will run on the open AMD ROCm™ software stack, giving customers a standards-based, vendor-neutral foundation for large-scale AI training and inference.
The announcement follows OneQode's recently announced 110MW AI infrastructure agreement with Bitzero in Norway, and reflects the company's broader strategy to deploy high-performance AI capacity across Europe and Asia-Pacific. It leverages their existing cloud and telecommunications footprint deployed across 5 continents over the last 7 years, and will also incorporate their unique low-latency, sovereignty-focused product offerings.
OneQode expects to support a range of high-performance AI workloads, powered by AMD AI solutions, including frontier-model training and inference, enterprise AI, and sovereign AI for governments, research institutions, and AI-first organisations.
"Demanding AI workloads require high-performance compute, scalable infrastructure and an open software ecosystem," said Negin Oliver, corporate vice president, Business Development for AI, AMD. "AMD Instinct GPUs and the unifying AMD ROCm open software stack are designed to help customers accelerate large-scale AI training and inference with the performance, efficiency and flexibility they need. We're pleased to work with OneQode as it expands access to AMD AI solutions for customers globally."
"AMD is shipping some of the most compelling AI hardware in the market," said Matthew Shearing, Founder and CEO of OneQode, "The challenge now is putting that silicon in the right places - close to the customers, sovereign workloads, and AI-first organisations that need it. That's what OneQode does. We've spent nearly a decade building performance infrastructure across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the global south, serving the kinds of workloads where uptime, latency and sovereignty actually matter. We're aiming to be AMD's partner of choice for extending AMD Instinct silicon at scale into the regions that need it most."
"We're genuinely pumped to be working with AMD," said Joe Swinn, Head of Product at OneQode. "We've been deploying infrastructure at scale globally for seven years, including some blazing-fast AMD EPYC processor-based private cloud builds, and this is one we've been waiting for. The AMD Instinct MI355X is a serious piece of silicon, and AMD Helios is built for the kinds of AI workloads our customers actually want to run. The AMD team have been brilliant to deal with, and we can't wait to get this kit in front of customers."
About OneQode

With a vertically-integrated platform that spans cloud compute, low-latency networking and sovereign technology across over 30 datacentres in 5 continents, they enable enterprises, governments and performance-hungry businesses to run AI & mission-critical workloads at scale, across the globe.
