What was the first film to shoot sequences specifically for the ScreenX format?

The story behind the answer

Spider-Man: Brand New Day was the first film to have sequences filmed specifically for the ScreenX format.

ScreenX is a theatrical presentation format that expands selected imagery onto the side walls of a cinema auditorium, creating a wider field of view than a conventional forward-facing screen. For Brand New Day, manufacturer CJ 4DPlex filmed additional footage intended for those side screens.

This is different from simply showing an ordinary movie in a ScreenX auditorium. The distinction is that Brand New Day had sequences created specifically for the format during production, rather than receiving only a later presentation conversion.

The film was also photographed in two standard aspect ratios: 2.39:1 for wide screens and 1.90:1 for digital IMAX. ScreenX is therefore a separate exhibition technology, not another name for the film’s IMAX framing. The format choice fits Spider-Man’s web-swinging action, where a broader visual field can emphasize movement through the city.
