Megabox, the third largest cinema chain in South Korea, has chosen Christie RGB pure laser projection systems for its flagship Megabox COEX multiplex located in Seoul’s Gangnam district, as well as several multiscreen cinemas in major cities across the country.
At present, 15 of 16 screens in Megabox COEX use Christie’s RGB pure laser cinema projectors. The projectors include the Christie CP4440-RGB for premium large-format (PLF) auditoriums, the CP4430-RGB and CP4420-RGB projectors for mainstream auditoriums, and the CP2309-RGB projectors for smaller auditoriums.
A spokesperson from Megabox said: “We always aspire to captivate movie-goers with the best possible image quality on the market, and RGB pure laser is clearly the future of cinema projection. We have chosen Christie RGB pure laser cinema projectors for our major multiplexes due to their outstanding colour and contrast, high efficiency and a long operational life, as well as their small footprint for flexible deployment even in limited spaces.”
Han Kim, executive director for APAC, Cinema, Christie, commented: “We are delighted that Megabox has chosen our RGB pure laser projection systems for its new and existing multiplexes across Korea. This is a clear reflection of the value that Christie offers to our longstanding customers such as Megabox—with whom we’ve enjoyed a longstanding relationship. With these cutting-edge RGB pure laser projection systems, Megabox will deliver an unmatched cinema-going experience for its patrons.”
Besides the flagship Megabox COEX, Christie’s RGB pure laser cinema projectors have also been installed at the recently opened Megabox Daejeon Shinsegae in Daejeon city, Megabox Masan in the southern city of Changwon, as well as Megabox Gwang-myeong, Megabox Yongin Giheung, Megabox Namyangju Hyundai Outlet Space 1, and Megabox Anseong Starfield in Gyeonggi Province.
