Disney discusses Infinity Vision with rival studios as it looks to expand the large-screen theater format

The Walt Disney Company has held talks with major competitors, including Paramount, Universal, Lionsgate and Sony, about its Infinity Vision large-screen format, which reaches about 5,500 screens worldwide, according to a report.

Disney is reaching beyond its own slate as it pitches rival studios on its Infinity Vision large-screen format, a strategy that indicates how the company is trying to keep big-theater experiences competitive in an era dominated by streaming and home viewing.

According to a report published by Yahoo Finance, Disney has met with several prominent film studios and entertainment partners to discuss adopting Infinity Vision. The talks reportedly included Paramount, Universal, Lionsgate and Sony.

Infinity Vision is positioned as a large-screen exhibition format designed to differentiate certain theater presentations. The report says it covers about 5,500 screens globally, giving Disney a footprint it can offer to other distributors looking for a distinct premium moviegoing experience.

By taking the format conversation to competitors, Disney is effectively inviting other studios to help drive demand for a specific kind of theater experience. In practice, that can matter because the economics of special formats often depend on studios choosing to release or package content for them.

The report frames the meetings as part of Disney’s broader push to strengthen its influence over how and where movies are shown in large-screen venues. For studios, aligning with a format that already has scale can reduce the uncertainty of rolling out a new exhibition approach.

Company context matters here because Disney operates across entertainment and is deeply tied to the theatrical ecosystem through major film production and distribution. Large-screen formats also intersect with the industry’s ongoing effort to preserve the theatrical value proposition for audiences, including the promise of a more immersive presentation.

What the report does not make clear is how close any of the counterparties are to signing deals, whether specific releases are under discussion, or what revenue terms, marketing commitments, or theater upgrade requirements are on the table. It also does not quantify whether the 5,500-screen footprint translates into meaningful market share in each region or how quickly the format is expanding.

For Disney, the immediate question is whether these conversations translate into concrete commitments from competing studios, which would help Disney convert its installed base into recurring content demand and theater partnerships. Investors and industry watchers will likely look next for any public announcements about new titles planned for Infinity Vision or additional theater rollouts.

Why It Matters

  • If competing studios commit to Infinity Vision titles, it could strengthen Disney’s ability to anchor premium theatrical demand around a format it supports.
  • Adoption by multiple distributors can increase the likelihood that theaters invest in and market the experience consistently, which can help the format scale.
  • The meetings underscore how exhibition innovation is increasingly shaped by major studios negotiating format access, not just individual theater operators.
  • For Disney, winning additional content partners can make theatrical investments and partnerships more durable even as home entertainment remains a strong competitor.
