Welcome to CinemaBarco.

Bringing showmanship back to the cinema
“We are bringing cinema into the future with bold strokes, big ideas and the showmanship we remember fondly from our childhood. CinemaBarco delivers an experience that people can’t get in their home theaters, enticing them into the cinema for a special event,” comments Todd Hoddick, Vice President Global Entertainment for Barco.

Representing a new paradigm in cinema entertainment, CinemaBarco magically brings every part of the theater to life, delivering visually spectacular and immersive entertainment before, during and after the show to create a one-of-a-kind moviegoing experience. From the lobby, to the auditorium and beyond, exhibitors can outfit their cinemas with innovative solutions that feature built-in revenue enhancement opportunities and help them grow their business while enhancing the audience experience.

When it comes to creating a more immersive cinema environment and boosting engagement, we believe the sky is the limit, and we are committed to improving how people experience movies well into the future,” continues Hoddick.

Creating a new community of highly engaged moviegoers
CinemaBarco harkens back to a time when the local theater was the center of the community.

CinemaBarco enables theater owners to capture more of the entertainment dollar by delivering a value-added experience far beyond the traditional movie date.”
