Cinema Centers Multiplexes Select Christie DLP Cinema Projectors for Digital Conversions
“Christie, Without a Doubt: A First-Class Reputation, a Superior Product”
Christie, the world
leader in digital cinema projection installations, announced the recent
installation of Christie CP2000-ZX digital projectors with Christie Brilliant3D™
triple flash technology in Cinema Centers’ multiplex theatres in central
Pennsylvania. The installations were completed in time to premiere the highly
anticipated “Avatar” from visionary director James Cameron.
The community-focused Cinema Centers, serving rural areas
of Pennsylvania, features five multiplexes with a
total of 55 screens, plus one single-screen drive-in theatre. All can be found
within a 2-hour radius and include 9 to 12 screens per complex. They feature
stadium seating, high back rocker seats and the latest, state-of-the-art
projection and sound equipment.
Entrepreneurs Marvin and Doris Troutman, who launched
successful careers in exhibition in 1955, opened their first Cinema Centers
brand multiplex in 1993. Gina T. DiSanto, CEO of the organization, is part of
the second-generation ownership and management, along with her parents, sister
and brother. DiSanto spent most of her
life in the movie theatre business. As a teenager, she worked at the family
owned drive-in during the summer seasons and a former, single-screen theatre in
the winter.
“After much due diligence, analyzing all the
specifications, talking directly to both installers and other exhibitors, it all
came down to one company – Christie – without a doubt. Word of mouth was also extremely positive,
which made them the best choice,” remarked DiSanto. “Christie has a first-class
reputation and a superior product that ensures our customers always experience
the brightest images for 3D showings.”
DiSanto was extremely enthusiastic about Christie service
and support. “The Christie team was fabulous.
They were there every step of the way as we made our conversion to
digital cinema. We are very excited with
the results of our decision and plan to buy more Christie digital projectors in
the very near future,” she said.
“With the introduction of digital cinema technology,
Cinema Centers takes their audiences into the 21st century of
entertainment,” noted Craig Sholder, vice-president, Entertainment Solutions,
Christie. “They continue a tradition of
leadership built upon the entrepreneurial spirit of its founders, by redefining
the movie viewing experience for every new generation of customers. To help
bring world-class entertainment to audiences everywhere, Christie supports
independent exhibitors like Cinema Centers, offering them the widest range of
cost-effective digital solutions at the lowest cost of operation.”
