During the course of the renovation, a new climate control system was installed, as was new plumbing and wiring. New, more comfortable seats were put in to give the main screening room capacity for 200 filmgoers and the smaller screening room capacity for 60.
Technical improvements, namely the installation of the E-Cinema system, will allow the film to show films in many digital formats in addition to the old 35mm prints. The Toldi will premiere the films in distributor Budapest Film's E-Cinema portfolio, including Sukiyaki Wester Django, Sleepwalking, You, The Living and Vexille. This year, 13 cinemas in Budapest and 20 outside of the capital will join the E-Cinema system.
Both of the Toldi's screening rooms are outfitted with Panasonic BlueRay DVD projectors. In the future, they will also offer filmgoers the latest Dolby audio with JBL equipment.
The Toldi will show The Detective and the portrait photographer Anton Corbijn's first feature film Control after it reopens. Between October 16 and 19, it will host the 4th International Dance Film Festival. Afterward it will show audiences documentaries for the Version 5 International Human Rights Film Festival.
The renovated Toldi also features a new café with Wi-Fi in its foyer.
