Muvico takes important step in digital theater conversion

Motion picture chain Muvico Entertainment will build one of the world's first theater complexes with Sony 4K SXRD projectors in all its theaters.

The projectors will be installed in Muvico's new Chicago-area entertainment complex as the initial step in converting the chain's 12 nationwide theaters with 228 screens to digital technology.

The new 18-screen facility is scheduled to open in August in Rosemont, IL.
