Part of CEN’s nationwide roll-out that is on track for 200 theatre lobbies in North America this year, the wide array of innovative solutions includes three “digital posters”, including interactive Christie FHD651-series 65” LCD panels; a “hero wall” composed of eight 55” screens in a herringbone pattern; and a video strip composed of eight 40” LCD screens. The displays demonstrate Christie's ability to deliver sophisticated advertising campaigns that communicate and engage with audiences. Other theatres scheduled for CEN installations include Missouri's Wehrenberg Theatres; Frank Theatres; Florida's EPIC Theatres; and Spotlight Theatres in Georgia.
A premiere movie and dining experience, the new Emagine Palladium offers upscale features and amenities that are raising the bar for out-of-home entertainment. In addition to stadium-style auditoriums with huge screens and the latest in digital cinema and sound, it offers VIP membership opportunities, priority seating, a full service bar, and in-theatre dining – all in an exceptionally comfortable and intimate environment.
