Canadian Theater Chain Selects MasterImage for 3D Hardware

A Canadian movie theater chain will complete in April its installation of digital 3D equipment made by a Burbank company. At 43 screens, Guzzo Cinemas will have the largest number of 3D theater systems in North America from MasterImage 3D LLC. Guzzo began installing the digital projectors in December and expects to be completed in April when one-third of its screenings will be in digital 3D. The chain has 11 theaters in the greater Montreal area. The MasterImage equipment gives a high quality presentation and the single-use glasses are preferable to the chain having to clean and re-use glasses, said Vince Guzzo, executive vice president and chief operating officer. “A big benefit of the MasterImage system is that it can be very easily moved and redeployed in different theaters along with the projection system in the weeks after a movie opens,” Guzzo said. “It doesn’t require us to call in a technician.”
