    Greenbelt’s ongoing transformation is redefining the landscape of shopping, leisure, and entertainment in Metro Manila—raising the bar for what a premium mall experience should feel like. As one of Ayala Malls’ most iconic destinations, Greenbelt now ushers in an elevated cinematic journey that seamlessly blends design, comfort, and cutting-edge technology.

    “Reinventing a place as iconic as Greenbelt demands both ambition and attention to detail,” said Ayala Malls COO Paul Birkett. “Alongside an exceptional mix of global and local luxury brands, we’ve also refreshed the entertainment experience with upgraded theaters, a revitalized lobby and a curated selection of food and snack options.”

    And truly, the difference is felt the moment you step inside.

    A Show-Stopping Lobby Designed to Impress

    Before the opening credits even roll, guests are welcomed by a dramatically redesigned cinema lobby. Dominating the space is a massive video wall—perfect for dynamic storytelling, immersive trailers, and cinematic teasers that instantly heighten anticipation.

    The ticket booth now features a sleek, modern aesthetic that exudes understated sophistication. Meanwhile, the newly refreshed Movie Snackbar delivers both visual polish and flavorful indulgence.

    Gourmet Snacks Worth the Spotlight

    Movie snacks just got an irresistible upgrade.

    Making their debut are must-try popcorn flavors:

    • Truffle Parmesan
    • Smoked Gouda
    • Salted Caramel

    These are served in a Greenbelt-exclusive popcorn bucket—stylish and collectible. Craving more? Guests can also enjoy curated offerings from beloved brands such as Mamou, Potato Corner, Toki, Chihuahua, and Carmen’s Best.

    Suddenly, choosing what to eat becomes as exciting as choosing what to watch.

    The refreshed cinemas feature upgraded interior wall panels, plush carpeting, and warm atmospheric lighting that creates a cozy yet luxurious ambiance. Every detail, carefully considered.

    Meet the All-New Slider Seats

    All cinemas are now outfitted with premium Slider seats—designed for both comfort and intuitive support. These wider, all-leather seats glide smoothly into a gently reclined position without electric controls, offering ergonomic ease and uninterrupted relaxation.

    No buttons. No fuss. Just effortless comfort.

    Whether you’re watching a romantic classic or an action-packed blockbuster, every seat feels like the best in the house.

    Cutting-Edge Technology That Transforms Every Scene

    Of course, a premium cinema experience goes beyond aesthetics.

    Greenbelt’s refreshed theaters now boast state-of-the-art laser projectors across all screens, delivering sharper images, richer contrasts, and vibrant colors with consistent brightness from start to finish.

    Complementing this visual brilliance is the immersive power of Dolby Atmos. With multidimensional sound that moves around the audience, every whisper, footstep, and crescendo feels strikingly real.

    It’s not just watching a movie—it’s experiencing it.

    4DX and My Cinema: Signature Experiences Return Stronger Than Ever

    Among the most anticipated highlights of the reimagination are Greenbelt’s specialty theaters.

    • 4DX remains the go-to choice for a thrilling multi-sensory cinematic adventure.
    • My Cinema continues to be the preferred venue for private screenings, celebrations, and exclusive gatherings.

    From birthdays and proposals to corporate screenings, the magic of the big screen becomes uniquely personal.

    A Grand Unveiling to Remember

    The refreshed Greenbelt Cinemas officially opened their doors on February 10, welcoming guests to an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated “Wuthering Heights,” Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s timeless novel, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

    Yvette Roldan, Ancillary Business Head of Ayala Malls, expressed her excitement:

    “From theater design, lighting and seating to screen and sound technologies, we have upgraded the entire movie-watching experience at Greenbelt cinemas to ensure comfort and quality,” she said. “Be it with friends, families or significant others, we invite you to experience the big screen’s greatest stories at Greenbelt cinemas.”
