AMC Theatres commits to Sony SXRD 4K projectors for four theaters

Sony Electronics is equipping four AMC Theatres new movie theaters with CineAlta SXRD 4K digital cinema systems.

Sony will provide 54 SXRD 4K digital cinema systems at new theatres in Dallas (12 screens); Indianapolis (14 screens); Riverside, CA (16 screens); and San Diego (12 screens). Work will begin next month, with the theaters scheduled to open in December.
