Before building a theater, how to measure the distance between the theater chair and the screen?

Planning space and deciding how many theater seats are our primary considerations when building a theater. This process takes into account not only the spacing between the seating rows, but also the distance between the theater screen and the walls. So, let's get straight to the answer: What is the theater seating distance between screens and rows?

In order to make full use of the theater space, it is first necessary to confirm the total space area of the theater, confirm how many people need to be accommodated, and how many theater seats are allocated.

Screen size is an important consideration. Every theater seat should be able to see the entire screen within a 30-degree field of view. It is very important to determine the large and small distances. Audiences seated too close may experience discomfort and eye strain, while seats seated too far away lose optimal visuals.

The easiest way to determine the small and large distances of the screen is to follow this simple formula: Take the horizontal length of the screen (not the diagonal length). Multiply the length by 2 to get the small distance, then by 5 to get the large distance.

The next step is to determine the number of theater seats that can fit in each row. You need to make sure you leave enough space for the walkway. It is generally recommended to leave at least 20 inches of space on both sides of the row for best results.

Cinema seating is measured from "center to center", i.e. from the center of one armrest to the center of the other armrest, multiply that amount by the number of chairs you expect to see.
