Rotana Cinema has the largest and richest Arabic movie library in the world;[1][2] this channel broadcasts premium production films ranging from golden oldies to the latest blockbusters that have never been broadcast on TV, making it the first channel to use the direct-to-TV method by fast forwarding the period between a movie’s premier in theaters and the TV premier[3]

Since 2005, Rotana Cinema has established itself as the Arab family's very own cinema at home and is set to continue solidifying that position through its 1000+ films not yet seen on TV and its exclusive premiers. The channel airs more than 35 premier movies per year directly from the cinema to the television.
