About United Cinemas Unicus Chichibu Multisala cinematografica
United Cinemas Unicus Chichibu è un complesso cinematografico realizzato per la città di Chichibu, rimasta priva di una sala cinematografica per 29 anni. Il complesso ospita sette schermi e 650 posti a sedere su 2.490 metri quadrati. La maggior parte delle sale accoglie meno di 100 spettatori, il che consente di proiettare una grande varietà di film pur rivolgendosi a una popolazione ridotta. Una facciata a parete continua e una luminosa hall rifinita in pietra ardesia e legno accolgono i passanti oltre agli spettatori. Il progetto funziona come un salotto urbano, luogo d'incontro per visitatori di tutte le età. Tutte le sale sono dotate di proiettori laser e di un sistema di digital signage.
