Muvico 12-plex in Fredericksburg installs Harkness screens

July 29, 2010

Harkness Screens 2D Perlux® screens and 3D Spectral™ screens were recently installed in all 12 auditoriums of Muvico Village 12 in Fredericksburg, VA, a licensed initiative through Paragon Entertainment.

The 70,000-square-foot entertainment center features a Splitsville 16-lane bowling section and a gourmet restaurant. Of the 12 cinema auditoriums, four are 3D and utilize Harkness’ Spectral 240 silver screens, while the remaining auditoriums provide 2D content with Harkness’ Perlux 140. The three largest auditoriums in the venue have screens measuring over 65 feet each and feature VIP premier balcony access for 21-and-over guests with waiter service for cocktails and food. The other nine screens range in size from 30 to 48 feet.

The Spectral 240 features a high extinction ratio and can be used successfully in auditoriums where 2D and 3D are both shown.

Paragon Entertainment recently opened a second location in Miami that also features Harkness Screens. The company has plans to build several theatres over the next few years in Virginia, Washington, D. C., Chicago and Pennsylvania.
