Technicolor (Euronext Paris: FR0010918292) (NYSE: TCH)
today announced it has entered into an agreement with Marcus
Theatres® to install Technicolor 3D, the 35mm film-based 3D system,
on 15 screens at select theatre locations. The Technicolor 3D
system utilizes a next-generation 3D projector lens and film prints
created with patent-pending digital processes which optimize the
motion picture image for 35mm 3D projection.
Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Marcus Theatres is the
sixth largest movie theatre circuit in the United States. Marcus
Theatres currently owns or manages 684 screens at 55 locations in
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and
Ohio.
“Technicolor has been an outstanding partner to both
distributors and exhibitors for almost a century, providing
essential services and technology. And now once again, Technicolor
is providing an inexpensive, alternative 3D solution to facilitate
the installation and exhibition of 3D in theatre locations not
quite ready for digital,” noted Bruce J. Olson, President of Marcus
Theatres.
“For 75 years Marcus Theatres has been an industry leader in
delivering high-quality presentations and the latest innovations,”
said Joe Berchtold, President of Technicolor’s Creative Services
division. “We’re proud that Marcus Theatres has selected
Technicolor 3D to bring the 3D experience to its customers.”
Technicolor 3D is currently installed on more than 300 screens
in North America, and has recently launched internationally in the
United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Japan. The format was
initially launched in theatres in March 2010. To date, nine films
have been released in the format, including features from
DreamWorks Animation, Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures, Universal
Pictures, Warner Bros., and The Weinstein Company. Upcoming titles
planned for release in the Technicolor 3D format include Jackass
3D, Saw 3D, Megamind, and Yogi Bear.
How Technicolor 3D Works
Technicolor 3D employs a proprietary production-to-projection
system that leverages 35mm film projectors, in use today by the
majority of U.S. and international theatres, to deliver a
high-quality 3D presentation to moviegoers. A patent-pending lens
system splits the left and right eye images as the film runs
through the projector and delivers a 3D-ready image onto a silver
screen. The solution works with circular polarized
glasses--identical to those used for digital cinema 3D--to
translate the film’s content into an image that is perceived by the
viewer as being three-dimensional. The silver screen can be used
for the projection of both Technicolor 3D as well as digital 3D
content. For more information, visit www.technicolor3D.com.
