Elevate Entertainment Group and Cinionic Unveil Plan for Comprehensive Cinema Upgrade with Barco Series 4 Laser Projectors

DALLAS, Dec. 21, 2023 - Cinionic, an international authority in laser movie technology, and Elevate Entertainment Group (EEG) have disclosed their strategic partnership today. The collaboration aspires to enhance the projection fleet of the cinema chain based in Texas by employing Laser Projection by Cinionic over the approaching three years.

Previously known as EVO Entertainment Group, EEG is the country's primary and extensive operator of cinema-entertainment centers. It briskly operates across five states with over 200 screens.

Cinionic plans to swap the chain's xenon projectors with state-of-the-art laser solutions from the Barco Series 4 collection. This includes premium large format EVX auditoriums at the EEG's EVO Entertainment Centers. EEG will use Cinionic's bolstered support services for the project to optimize performance with network operations platform connectivity and extended warranty options.

The new laser systems are already rolling out at EEG, starting with an all-laser complex at their newest location, EVO Entertainment Prestonwood. This is a luxurious dine-in cinema entertainment format that recently launched in north Dallas.

"With advancements in film technology, it's crucial to equip our cinemas with top-grade equipment to project everything from big hits to indie films. We're excited to team up with Cinionic to continue offering a high-end cinema experience for our patrons," remarked Vivek Abichandani, Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development, EEG.

The announcement follows a lengthy relationship between Cinionic and EEG. EEG’s vast portfolio consists of EVO Entertainment, EVO Cinemas, ShowBiz Cinemas, Times Square Grand Slam, and Violet Crown Cinemas. By broadly deploying Laser Projection by Cinionic to its theaters, EEG's audience will enjoy an enhanced movie experience at all its venues.

"Today's cinema-goers have high aspirations, they seek sophisticated entertainment experiences that are not replicable at home. We're delighted to collaborate with Elevate to deliver laser-powered movie experiences that are not only visually captivating but also environmentally responsible," stated Wim Buyens, CEO of Cinionic.

The renowned Barco Series 4 is the market's top laser cinema projector range, delivering brilliant movie experiences for viewers and assurance for cinema operators. The solutions from the Barco Series 4 projector line are designed for robustness, sustainability, and operational simplicity, reducing the need for maintenance and support and allowing theaters to focus on what truly counts – the customers.
