Studio Movie Grill (SMG) selected Christie’s 4K-ready Solaria™
Series digital-cinema projectors for 60 screens in multiplexes
across Texas, Missouri and Georgia.
SMG audiences watch the latest first-run movies while enjoying
restaurant-style table service with food offerings such as gourmet
pizza, BBQ ribs and fresh salads. The chain will install Christie
CP2220 and Christie CP2230 projectors, which are fully upgradeable
to 4K.
In addition to retrofitting all existing theatres across Texas, SMG
will also install Christie projectors in two new theatre complexes,
Zona Rosa in Kansas City and Holcomb Bridge in Atlanta, which will
be completed this spring.
“SMG is making the investment to go all-digital to ensure that
customers enjoy an enhanced cinema experience,” said SMG president
Brian Schultz. “With 35% of our screens currently featuring 3D, we
look forward to displaying the most vivid images, and benefiting
from the more efficient optics and lower lamp wattages of Christie
projectors.”
