Opened on March 1, the multiplex features Christie cinema solutions, with its proprietary RGB pure laser technology, across all 12 screens for unparalleled color and contrast. Luxury heated recliner seating, RCX premium large format (PLF) screens with 4K laser projection, and surround sound enhance the moviegoing experience for guests.

And with Christie RGB pure laser projection, we’re ready to deliver a memorable experience for our guests.”
“R/C Theatres is known for its considerable investments in their multiplexes, and it’s a pleasure to be chosen again to work with them at this beautiful new location, Richland Crossings,” says Scott Freidberg, strategic accounts, Cinema, at Christie.
