Bringing showmanship back to the cinema“We are bringing
cinema into the future with bold strokes, big ideas and the showmanship we
remember fondly from our childhood. CinemaBarco delivers an experience that
people can’t get in their home theaters, enticing them into the cinema for a
special event,” comments Todd Hoddick, Vice President Global Entertainment for
Barco.
Representing a
new paradigm in cinema entertainment, CinemaBarco magically brings every part
of the theater to life, delivering visually spectacular and immersive
entertainment before, during and after the show to create a one-of-a-kind moviegoing
experience. From the lobby, to the auditorium and beyond, exhibitors can outfit
their cinemas with innovative solutions that feature built-in revenue
enhancement opportunities and help them grow their business while enhancing the
audience experience.
When it comes to
creating a more immersive cinema environment and boosting engagement, we
believe the sky is the limit, and we are committed to improving how people experience
movies well into the future,” continues Hoddick.
Creating a new community of highly engaged moviegoersCinemaBarco
harkens back to a time when the local theater was the center of the community. According
to Hoddick, we are returning to the day when the movie theater was a place to
dream and have adventures: “By employing the latest audience engagement, interactive
lobby technology and immersive entertainment solutions, exhibitors can create an
environment that attracts a highly engaged community of moviegoers. CinemaBarco
enables theater owners to capture more of the entertainment dollar by
delivering a value-added experience far beyond the traditional movie date.”
