Regal Cineworld is investing in Barco laser projection technology, aiming to upgrade 4,000 screens across the USA, UK, and Europe by 2030. Laser projection delivers brighter, more color-rich images compared to traditional Xenon-bulb projection, typically found in premium large-format screens. This upgrade aims to enhance the viewing experience for all customers by raising the baseline image quality across its theaters.
Cinemas across the USA, UK, and Europe are set to get a significant image quality boost with the announcement by Regal Cineworld that it will bring Barco laser projection to 4,000 screens by 2030.
Laser projection offers a brighter and more color-rich image compared to Xenon-bulb-based projection and is normally the preserve of premium larger format screens that command higher ticket prices.
However, Basey said that he doesn’t want customers to feel as if they need to understand the technology behind the projection system to choose where to go to have a good experience. “It's about raising the baseline, so they just know that they had an amazing experience they've not gotten anywhere else,” Basey said.
Casey Collins, the vice president of sales for Barco North America, told Forbes in an interview that its Series 4 laser projectors will deliver a more stable picture across the whole frame compared to the bulb-based projectors. With 26 models in the range, offering a wide selection of lumens outputs and 2K or 4K resolution, chains can select the right model depending on the requirements of each room.
As part of a UK restructuring process in 2024 eleven sites were shuttered, but the new deal shows that it now has the confidence to invest in its portfolio to the benefit of cinemagoers.While originally available in six locations, it is currently down to five: two of the AMC locations were only temporary evaluations butOur community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
