Vue, the largest privately owned cinema operator in Europe and number one exhibitor in the UK, has signed terms with Barco, to bring its award-winning laser projectors across Vue’s European estate. The roll-out of Barco’s technology to screens across all eight countries in Vue’s portfolio reiterates the company’s commitment and continued investment, bringing the best big screen experience to its moviegoers.
The deal will see an initial installation of more than 1,000 Barco Series 4 projectors and Barco media servers introduced to Vue’s screens by the end of 2029, starting the roll out in the UK, Germany and Denmark. Vue Southport in the North West of England was the first of Vue’s cinemas to undergo installation and Vue Westfield Shepherd’s Bush in London, the company’s flagship site, will be next in line.
“Barco shares Vue’s commitment to delivering new and exciting cinema experiences,” said Gerwin Damberg, EVP of Barco Cinema. “Together, we look forward to bringing Laser by Barco to Vue’s theatres throughout Europe. With laser projection, audiences will enjoy the next generation of movie presentation with stunning picture quality, high image brightness and increased colour gamut.”
