CEN’s nationwide roll-out is on track for 200 theatre lobbies in North America this year. The technology put into the Emagine Palladium Theatre includes three “digital posters”, including Christie FHD651-series 65” LCD panels; a “hero wall” composed of eight 55” screens in a herringbone pattern; and a video strip composed of eight 40” LCD screens. Other theatres scheduled for CEN installations include Missouri's Wehrenberg Theatres; Frank Theatres; Florida's EPIC Theatres; and Spotlight Theatres in Georgia.

The new Emagine Palladium offers upscale features and amenities including stadium-style auditoriums with large screens and digital cinema and sound, it offers VIP membership opportunities, priority seating, a full service bar, and in-theatre dining.

“We are committed to providing moviegoers with a compelling reason to come to our venues for their entertainment,” said Paul Glantz, Co-Founder and Chairman of Emagine Entertainment, Inc. “We enhance the quality of their experience and create a value proposition for them by making our theatres more than a place to see a movie, but also a complete destination for dining and entertainment. The lobby plays an important role in communicating the immersive nature of their experience, and the Christie Experiential Network’s state-of-the-art signage is an integral part of our strategy.”
