21st century pop icons BTS continue to break records as BTS: Yet To Come in Cinemas now holds the record for the highest grossing worldwide event cinema release.

Presented by HYBE, CJ 4DPlex, and Trafalgar Releasing for a limited run, BTS: Yet To Come in Cinemas achieved a global box office gross of $40m and boasted a footprint of more than 5,817 cinemas across 128 countries/territories, including a total of 617 coming from CJ 4DPlex’s 4DX and ScreenX locations.

BTS: Yet To Come in Cinemas in ScreenX delivers a truly immersive experience that puts audiences in the front row. With a 270-degree field of view and exclusive imagery, audiences will feel like they are watching BTS live in concert. In multi-sensory 4DX, audiences are surrounded by unique motion and environmental effects that reproduce the atmosphere of a live concert. Complete with synchronized seats timed to BTS’ hit songs, 4DX transcends the BTS: Yet To Come in Cinemas experience.

Jong Ryul Kim, CEO of CJ 4DPLEX said, “With our collaboration with BTS, HYBE and Trafalgar Releasing – we created a truly historic moment in event cinema. The ScreenX Studio production team focused on providing a totally different experience for moviegoers by shooting the film with fourteen cinematography cameras, which were not used in the live streaming event, and were re-edited for the ScreenX presentation.”

“We’re thrilled to see such a strong response from audiences across the globe,” Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing said. “BTS have a massive and dedicated following, and we’re honored to help them achieve another record-breaking result.”

The event was HYBE and Trafalgar Releasing’s fifth global title with the pop icons, including 2018’s BURN THE STAGE: THE MOVIE, 2019’s BRING THE SOUL: THE MOVIE, 2020’s BREAK THE SILENCE: THE MOVIE, and 2022’s BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – SEOUL: LIVE VIEWING.
