new contract will see another 20 systems installed by the end of
2010. Broadway Circuit currently has 32 systems installed at 12
cinema sites and will add another 18 GDC systems by the end of

“We are pleased to engage GDC again to outfit our new digital

and excellent technical service,” said Bob Vallone, director and
general manager of UA Cinemas’ parent, Lark Multimedia Ltd.
“Having picked GDC as the working partner for our digital rollout
program is a real blessing, as it has given us many years of
reliable hassle-free service,” said Tessa Lau, executive director
