Arclight Comes To Sherman Oaks

Can a movie theater make movies better? That was the question residents of the San Fernando Valley found waiting for them at the end of their driveway last Thursday. At least those residents who subscribe to home delivery of the Los Angeles Times. The question was posed on an insert folded into Thur…

Tucson Goes Independent With Tower Theatres

Apparently the opening of a new multiplex is big news in Tucson, Arizona. Just ask Kent Edwards, a managing partner in Tower Theatres, a new independently owned 12 screen multiplex that opened at Arizona Pavilions in Marana on December 7th. The day before the grand opening the Arizona Daily Star pub…

Last Friday evening the Australian Film Commission, through their regional digital screen network (RDSN), beamed a performance of ‘The Nutcracker’ live via satellite from Sydney Opera House towns across the country including Port Augusta, South Australia; Yarram, Victoria; Devonport, Tas…

India’s Cinemax Crosses 50 Screen Milestone

Whoever is handling public relations for Cinemax India, Ltd. deserves a wee bit of a raise after last week. The circuit’s press release announcing the opening of their new four screen multiplex in Gandhinagar managed to be picked up by every major media outlet in India and quite a few outside…

IMAX Gives AMC 100 Digital 3D Projectors For Free

Imax and AMC really, really REALLY like each other in a digital-3D-biggest-deal-EVER kind of way. Yes, it is big.

Mentioned in passing in the Hollywood Reporter’s round-up of Day 1 of CineAsia, the big news appears to have been the Chinese digital cinema network powered by Barco (projectors) and GDC (servers) from 7,00 to 2,000. In a questionably headlined article (‘CineAsia hosts digital revolution…

French Servers For French D-Cinema

Much to no-one’s surprise, French cinema chain CGR will use Doremi servers for their digital cinema deployment with Arts Alliance Media (AAM). This has less to do with both companies being French (though it doesn’t exactly hurt) than with AAM’s new found love for Doremi after the c…

Japanese all-women theatre via fibre optics in cinemas

Of all the alternative content that has been tried in cinemas, theatrical plays is one of the smallest of sub-categories. With the exception of the recent Swedish Strindberg play beamed in HD to local cinemas, the closest we have come to this is the musicals of Broadway TV Network. But it is operas…

The Beyonce Experience (not the least bit) LIVE!

Sometimes digital cinema operators should be slapped very hard with the Trade Descriptions Act, or whatever the US equivalent is. Particularly ones that advertise a ‘LIVE!’ concert (capital letters, exclamation mark and all) of Beyonce, which is actually a recording of her shaking her bo…
