BAOSHAN District will build China’s largest huge-screen cinema at a former container dock by the Yangtze River, officials said yesterday.

The ball-shaped Changtan “huge-screen cinema,” with a diameter of about 35 meters, will become the third largest in the world after Sydney and Singapore upon its completion in 2019, the district government said.

The screen will be 22.4 meters wide and 12 meters tall.
