Carmike Cinemas Leads the Way Across America With Cutting Edge Technology

COLUMBUS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKEC), a leading entertainment, digital cinema and 3-D motion picture exhibitor serves its customers with the finest presentation of movies, sports, arts, religious and music available on the big screen.

“We take great pride in offering the highest level of visual presentation in communities large and small. Carmike has been all digital in our first run theatre locations for over five years, so a guest in a Carmike theatre is assured the ultimate entertainment experience.”

Carmike Cinemas has served its guests in 236 theatres throughout the country since 2007 with the ultimate entertainment experience. Carmike is a recognized leader in implementing cutting edge technology in all of the communities we serve and was one of the first digital exhibitors in the country. What does all this mean?

When you go to a movie in 3D or 2D at a Carmike Cinema everything will be perfectly calibrated and set to deliver an incredibly brilliant picture. At Carmike quality control is just the way we serve our guests with the ultimate entertainment experience. We are the standard for a quality movie experience.

Partnering with Christie to install the world’s most preferred digital projection system, our theatres use the cutting edge Christie LampLOC optimized lamp positioning and LiteLOC automated constant lamp brightness digital technology recognized as the brightest and most reliable in the business. The end result is picture quality with noticeably higher and crisper resolution than HD. You can immediately see and experience the difference in a Carmike theatre. Few theatre companies can match this claim.

If you have read about diminished, dimmed picture quality at digital theatres caused by projection systems that are left in 3D mode when showing 2D pictures, you won’t find this at Carmike. You’ll see eye-popping images in every one of our theatres using the Christie LampLOC/LiteLOC technology, which doesn’t require the cumbersome adjustments of other manufacturers systems.

David Passman, President and CEO commented, “We take great pride in offering the highest level of visual presentation in communities large and small. Carmike has been all digital in our first run theatre locations for over five years, so a guest in a Carmike theatre is assured the ultimate entertainment experience.”

We are pleased to serve neighborhoods across America and are committed to providing our guests an incredible theatre experience comparable to no other exhibitor.
