Riyadh - Mubasher: Saudi Arabia is set to open the first movie theater for the public in 35 years on Wednesday.

Marvel's "Black Panther" is the first movie to be shown on the big screen in the kingdom.

The first cinema in Saudi Arabia was built by AMC Entertainment based in the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh.

AMC is the largest theatrical exhibitor in the world with approximately 1,000 theaters and 11,000 screens across the globe, and it is planning to open up to 40 cinemas in 15 cities in Saudi Arabia over the next five years, and a total of 50 to 100 cinemas in approximately 25 Saudi cities by 2030, according to CNBC.

The majority of the Saudi population is under the age of 30, and this is expected to create huge demand in the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia is expected to have nearly 350 cinemas, with over 2,500 screens, by 2030.
