California is having a shake-up—and it’s not just another earthquake. Volfoni Inc, the leading French manufacturer of high quality active and passive 3D equipment, announced today it will provide several of its digital 3D theater systems to California-based chain Regency Theatres. This ground-breaking deal marks the first installations of Volfoni’s passive 3D system in a U.S. theater chain.
The Volfoni system, called SmartCrystal Cinema, is a high-end passive 3D theater system made in Europe. Approved by the major studios, the system features Volfoni’s innovative “Surface-Switching” liquid crystal technology, and a light efficiency way beyond that of competitors.
“Volfoni 3D systems have been adopted by over 500 theaters worldwide, and we are excited to begin our first roll-out in the U.S. market,” said Jerome Testut, Managing Director for Volfoni U.S.
“We are abosultely thrilled to announce our first partnership with a U.S.-based theater chain,” noted Matt Garelik, VP Business Development for Volfoni U.S. “This is a milestone for the company and a preview of things to come.”
One could say it’s a match made in film technology heaven–both Regency and Volfoni strive to stay on the cutting-edge of their industries. Regency recently installed D-Box MFX (TM) motion seating in several of its theaters. When combined with 3D, the experience is unparalleled.
“Digital 3D is as ubiquitous as popcorn is for moviegoers today,” said Lyndon Golin, CEO of Regency Theatres. “Volfoni’s top-notch yet economically-priced system allows us to show 3D at more of our theaters, thereby allowing us to provide an immersive experience to even more of our customers.”
