The new moviegoer campaign harnesses the tagline “Laser. Like you’ve never seen.” and comes at a time as the cinema industry seeks to drive audiences back to the movies. Focusing on the benefits for moviegoers, the laser campaign highlights how laser projection by Cinionic helps deliver consistently bright, colorful, and sharp images. Today’s announcement celebrates another milestone in the long-standing partnership between Cinemark and Cinionic to create memorable cinema moments powered by the leading cinema solutions.
“Cinionic has been such a tremendous partner over the years, and we are thrilled to continue our relationship with them as we strategically convert our digital xenon projectors to laser over the course of the next ten years,” stated Damian Wardle, Cinemark’s EVP Theatre and Technology Operations. “I’m incredibly proud of our team in defining and executing our laser conversion strategy, which provides a better overall consumer experience with vivid colors and on-screen imagery while providing meaningful cost savings for the company.”
In 2019, the two companies continued their journey, and upgraded Cinemark locations with award-winning Barco Series 4 laser projectors and integrated Barco Alchemy media servers. The release of the laser moviegoer campaign solidifies both companies’ ongoing commitment to transform Cinemark’s fleet in the United States and Latin America into laser-powered entertainment destinations.

Like You’ve Never Seen” campaign throughout their cinema journey, with placements online, on social media, in-theater, and on-screen with a new pre-show spot running in auditoriums featuring laser projection by Cinionic.
