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 Village.
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 for a real treat next time they see a movie. The contrast, brightness and color of Christie’s laser projectors are perfect. We have received great feedback from many patrons who attended screenings here.”

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.
