On August 1, the latest chapter from the DC Comics universe, “Suicide Squad” premiered at the historic Beacon Theatre in New York City, and it was action-packed.
In addition to the non-stop action, the film wowed the audience with special effects that were projected on a giant screen with a Christie Solaria Series CP4230 projector.
This 4K projection solution features the Christie 4K+4 advantage, which includes maximum performance for 3D and Christie Pixel Track technology for optimum image quality.
Warner Brothers chose Digital Media Systems to provide the technical support, integration and installation for the Warner Brothers film’s debut, and Digital Media Systems (DMS) selected Christie to provide the cinema projection technology that would help bring the film to life.
“To bring movies like this to life at beautiful venues with world premiere execution and performance, we choose Christie equipment,” says Gregg Paliotta, president and owner of Digital Media Systems, in a press release. “Christie Solaria projectors lit up the screen with bright, vibrant images that captured every minute flawlessly.”
The film receives its general release August 5.
