But the new screen will open in Sheffield from October 22, with details of the first film being shown yet to be confirmed.

More than 200 recent films have been adapted to be shown in 4DX, including the new Avengers film and Fast and Furious 7.

The new screen comes as part of a major upgrade to Cineworld Sheffield which is seeing the foyer, bar area and box office refitted.

The new Sheffield 4DX will include the brand new ‘rainstorm’ effect – designed to bring to life on-screen inclement weather simulations.
