UCI Verona
Verona, Italy
Boxoffice Blue Ribbon 2024 | Renovation
UCI Verona, located in San Giovanni Lupatoto near Verona, underwent a comprehensive renovation and technological regeneration between 2024 and early 2025. The project forms part of UCI Cinemas’ wider strategy to modernize its Italian multiplex portfolio and reinvigorate cinema attendance through premium, experience-led upgrades. The refurbishment focused on balancing enhanced comfort, upgraded technology, and large-format presentation while preserving high seating capacity.
The entrance, foyer, concessions, and amenities were fully modernized with Luxe 2.0 styling, integrated digital and LED displays, and updated façade lighting and signage. UCI Verona now features 12 auditoriums with a total capacity of 1,797 seats, including two PLF screens. A highlight is the introduction of the first Imax Laser auditorium in the Veneto region, alongside an XL large-format auditorium designed for major releases and event screenings.
Technology upgrades include Imax with 4K laser projection and 5.1 sound, as well as 4K laser projection in the XL auditorium. Across the remaining screens, 2K digital projection systems with Dolby 7.1 sound have been enhanced with upgraded servers, improved audio systems, and new screen technologies, including Harkness Clarus and Perlux surfaces with RealD 3D capability.
Hospitality has been significantly expanded, with redesigned concession areas, UCI Luxe-style offerings, and Oscar’s Bar providing premium food and beverage options. Lounge-style seating and social spaces position the cinema as a broader entertainment destination. Sustainability is also a core component of the project, with the installation of 346 photovoltaic panels generating approximately 186,000 kWh annually, covering around 20% of the cinema’s energy needs.
