The companies announced Thursday an “expanded distribution agreement” that will give Spectrum TV Select customers the ad-supported version of streaming platform Hulu and eight linear TV channels: Disney Jr., Disney XD, Freeform, FXX, FXM, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Mundo and BabyTV.

Depending on where you want to watch it, the options can range from standard to Dolby Cinema, XD, ScreenX, RPX, 4DX and multiple versions of IMAX.

What to know: RPX, XD and Dolby Cinema serve as the premium large formats for Regal, Cinemark and AMC, respectively.

Texas-based theater chain Cinemark, which operates theaters in Bellevue, Federal Way and Tacoma, has seen interest in XD, its premium, large-format auditorium with immersive surround sound, skyrocket since the pandemic.

“Our XD auditoriums represent about 5% of our screens, but on average have been delivering 10-15% of our box office. So they’re overperforming,” said Caitlin Piper, Cinemark’s director of public relations.
