There are four Broadway cinemas in Wuhan, and Paragon is the most well-positioned of them. Transliterated as PALACE, which means the palace of movies, Wuhan Yifang Store is the 18th cinema opened by Paragon and the only Paragon Cinema in Wuhan. "Paragon" is a synonym for high-end cinemas, whether it is facilities and equipment or services, Paragon is superior, and Wuhan Yifang Store is no different.
Wuhan Paragon Cinema Yifang Store is the first cinema in Wuhan to have a LUXE giant screen hall. As a high-quality giant screen brand launched by RealD, a world-renowned 3D imaging technology company, LUXE is equipped with all equipment built in accordance with the highest standards in the industry, including innovative precision white screen technology that can make the screen brighter and more comfortable, giving the audience a more comfortable 2D and 3D viewing experience. For example, the 3D brightness of the LUXE giant screen needs to reach 6FL, compared with the brightness of 4.5FL in ordinary theaters, the audience is not prone to visual fatigue when watching 3D movies.
In addition to the LUXE giant screen hall, Yifang store also has 12 theater halls, including REAL-D and 3D halls. The 12 auditoriums at Paragon have a total of 1,919 seats, all of which are spaced at more than 1.2 meters, and the angle of the seats is precisely adjusted according to the needs to provide a better viewing environment.
Many movies in Wuhan will be held in Paragon for advance screenings and star meetings. In 2018, the popular Indian film "Mysterious Superstar" was screened in China at Wuhan Paragon Yifang Store, and the relevant creators also came to the scene to communicate with fans. In addition, it is also a tradition for Paragon to hold film festivals from time to time. The 7th Hong Kong Film Festival Wuhan Station was held in Yifangdian.
