Auro 3D Movie List10/8/2020
Auro says there are over 550 theater locations where AURO surround is committed or already installed.Wed like to address some of the questions about these formats as they exist today.
AURO-3D was the first immersive sound format in theaters (2011) but hasnt caught on that widely in the U.S. According to Auro, there are approximately 100 theatrical titles released or committed in the AURO-3D format, but a fairly small number of these are global release major films that most viewers would have heard of. The first product announced to include AURO-3D support for the home was their Auriga receiver (17,000) announced in May, 2014. Auro 3D List Upgrade Became AvailableAuro 3D List Software Upgrade Became AvailableBut AURO-3D really hit the US home market in December of 2014 when a software upgrade became available for select Denon and Marantz receivers. Dolby Atmos was the first to enter the consumer market in the US in any real numbers when the format became available on mass market home theater receivers and processors beginning in August, 2014. At this point, details on DTS:X are a bit sketchy thought the company promises that there will be more details available at the official DTS:X launch in March of this year. The company released a demo disc at CES this year with some tracks purported to be encoded in DTS:X (but we have no way of verifying that yet). For home use, AURO says that 9-channel and 10-channel speaker layouts are also supported. But these two distinct layers of height channels are a bit different from Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. In theaters, Dolby Atmos supports up to 64 distinct speaker channels. In its home implementation, Dolby Atmos can support up to 34 channels (up to 24 ear level speakers and up to 10 height speakers above the listener). Details are not yet available about DTS:X speaker configurations. With the inclusion of discrete height speakers, movie-makers can make a film sound much more realistic and immersive. Helicopter fly-overs, thunderstorms, swirling storms, exploding space stations all seem that much more realistic in immersive surround. You really can explore the possibilities of depth and separation as never before. Find out more about what the director thinks about Atmos in this brief video interview. Dolby Atmos has been used to increase the immersiveness of dozens of other blockbuster films in theaters, including Edge of Tomorrow, Godzilla, American Sniper, Guardians of the Galaxy, all three of The Hobbit films and many more. Interstingly, most of the recognizable AURO-3D titles were also released in theaters in Dolby Atmos, including Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Maze Runner, Amazing Spiderman 2 and several more.

To find one near you, you can check the Dolby Atmos theater-finder. Be sure to double-check with the theater owner or theater listings before purchasing tickets as not all Dolby Atmos-enabled films play in Dolby Atmos surround, even in theaters that are properly equipped. Dolby Atmos is normally in the premium screening rooms in these theaters so only select showings will be in Dolby Atmos.
