With our technology and viewer engagement strategies, we’re elevating the in-theatre experience through an amazing mix of large-format digital video presentations and interactive touch displays, all featuring content that literally stops guests in their tracks and engages them in-person and on their devices.”
Consumer engagement and differentiated experiences are themes echoed by Paul Glantz, CEO, Emagine Entertainment, “Our experience with CEN has been exceptional – the positive impact on guest experience and the additional revenue we receive has exceeded expectations.” Glantz continued, “The deployment at our Palladium Theatre in Birmingham, MI, was honored as “Best Overall Retail or Mall Experience” at the Daily DOOH 2015 Gala Awards, which in addition to the business results made the decision to include CEN in our operational plan for our recent acquisition of Mueller Theatres a no-brainer.”
Craig Sholder, EVP of Business Development and Strategic Planning for Christie Digital Systems, commented, “With the array of exclusive game-changing technology solutions and services our teams at Allure, CEN and Christie provide, our common goal is to innovate, develop and deliver spectacular entertainment experiences and environments that keep our exhibition partners at the forefront of entertainment, not only today but for years to come.”
