New MODERN CINEMA and POPCORN in Bigscreen
Hey everyone! Here are the release notes from today's update:

2 months ago, we unveiled Bigscreen Home, a modern-themed penthouse, in our massive Bigscreen TV update. Today, we’re excited to show you the Modern Cinema. This brand new environment is designed to look like your local movie theater, and is perfect for watching movies with your friends in VR.
We also added Popcorn, our first physics-based interactive toy. Grab some popcorn and throw it around—if you make a mess, the popcorn kernels will automatically disappear! We plan to add more interactive, physics-based toys in the future like soda cans and mini-games. What toys would you like to see?
We also added Distraction Free Mode, allow you to block popcorn, 3D markers drawings, and some multiplayer sounds (go to Settings > Multiplayer)
Starting in September, we will be hosting premium 3D Movie Nights in partnership with major movie studios: you can buy a "virtual movie ticket" to watch amazing 3D movies in our cinema with people around the world.
Hope you like it! As always, if you have questions, bugs, issues, or want to chat, join our Discord and chat with us:

The Bigscreen Developers will be hanging out in VR today. Come chat with us as we reveal the new cinema and talk about our future plans.
