- What's included in a Director's Club ticket?
- ₱590–₱600 gets you an electronic leather recliner with full recline, a snack bundle (large popcorn + soda, iced tea, or water), and access to the private Director's Club lounge with its own restrooms. SM Aura offers a wine and cheese upgrade for around ₱750.
- Which SM cinemas have Director's Club?
- Metro Manila: SM Aura Premier, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia (3 halls), SM North EDSA, S Maison at Conrad Manila (all-DC venue, 3 halls), The Podium, SM Grand Central (Caloocan), and SM Marikina. Provincial: SM Seaside Cebu, SM J Mall Cebu, SM CDO Downtown (Cagayan de Oro), SM Puerto Princesa, and SM La Union (opened 2025).
- How does Director's Club compare to standard SM Cinema?
- Standard SM 2D: ₱390–₱450, 400–500 seats per hall, standard digital projection. Director's Club: ₱590–₱600 with food included, 16–144 recliners with butler service, RGB laser projection, and Dolby Atmos audio.
- What's the difference between Director's Club and "Premium" seats?
- "Premium" at SM Cinema means two different things. In IMAX halls, premium seats (₱1,000) are Director's Club-style recliners in the back rows with butler service — luxury seating plus the IMAX screen. In some renovated 2D halls (like SM Marikina), "Premium" means upgraded cushioned seats, but without full electronic recline, a private lounge, or butler service.
- Can Director's Club show IMAX or 4DX movies?
- No. Director's Club halls project standard 2D (occasionally 3D). They don't have IMAX-scale screens or 4DX motion systems. The exception: select IMAX halls offer "Premium" recliner seats in the back rows, which combine the IMAX screen with Director's Club-style comfort at ₱1,000.
- What is S Maison at Conrad Manila?
- SM Cinema's ultra-premium flagship. Unlike other SM malls that mix standard and premium halls, all three S Maison screens are Director's Club — full recliners, private lounge, butler service. Located on Level 2 of S Maison at Conrad Manila, adjacent to SM Mall of Asia.
- Do Director's Club screenings sell out faster?
- Yes — 16–144 seats versus 400–500 in standard halls. Blockbusters on opening weekends sell out fast. Book online at smcinema.com or through the SM Cinema app (₱30 convenience fee).
