Christie® is pleased to announce that Cinépolis, the world’s second
largest cinema chain based on admissions, has chosen Christie’s next-generation laser cinema projectors, featuring
RealLaser™ illumination technology, to power its theater screens at Pejaten

Located in southern Jakarta, Cinépolis
Pejaten Village is the exhibitor’s first multiplex in Indonesia to be fully
equipped with Christie RGB pure laser projectors. It houses five auditoriums fitted
with Christie CP2309-RGB and CP2320-RGB models. The projectors were installed by Christie’s trusted
partner, Expersys Technologies.
“At Cinépolis, we are committed to
delivering a highly engaging guest experience, and one of the ways is with the
most cutting-edge projection technologies,” said Gerald Dibbayawan, Chief Executive Officer, Cinépolis
Indonesia. “Christie’s RGB pure laser projectors, with a wider colour gamut and
higher contrast than existing lamp-based technologies, is the perfect choice
for us to achieve this objective. We strongly believe that the RGB laser experience
will further improve the quality of our presentations and strengthen our
position as the
preferred entertainment destination for moviegoers.”
Danson Foo, Managing Director, Expersys Technologies, commented, “Moviegoers
at Cinépolis Pejaten Village are in

numbering close to 290 screens across Indonesia.
Christie’s RGB pure laser
projectors comply with DCI standards, and deliver more than 95 percent of the Rec.
2020 color space without filtering or color correction. The rich, intense
colors and contrast create astounding visuals in 2K and 4K resolution for
audiences to enjoy, while delivering significant operational efficiencies to Cinépolis.

around the world have embraced Christie’s RGB pure laser cinema projectors as the best replacement for lamp-based
projection systems and new installations. Major cinema chains in Australia, China,
