Cosm to Bring A New Hope to Its Immersive Domes

On November 12, 2026, Disney and Cosm announced a multi-year partnership to present Disney films in Cosm’s shared reality theaters. The first title will be Star Wars: A New Hope, scheduled to open in March 2027, the film’s 50th anniversary year.

Cosm’s domes use large wraparound LED screens. The original film will remain in the central image while added visuals surround it, taking audiences through settings and scenes including Tatooine, the Death Star and the Millennium Falcon’s lightspeed journey.

Cosm Studios chief Alexis Scalice said fans had been asking for the film since the company introduced its experiential cinema. She said the team is selecting scenes and other elements based on what fans value, while keeping the film itself at the center of the experience.

Cosm is developing the presentation with Disney, Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic and MakeMake. It will be available at the company’s venues in Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit and Inglewood, California. Tickets are expected to go on sale in 2027.

Cosm previously teamed up with Warner Bros. and Universal, with Disney now joining those two major studios. Cosm plans to show Shrek starting December 15, 2026, which will be the first animated film presented at the venue.
