Regal Cineworld inks new global deal with Barco

Regal Cineworld Group, the world’s second-largest cinema chain, and Barco, provider of laser-powered cinema solutions, have announced a new initiative to install 4,000 Barco Series 4 laser projectors in theatres across the United States, United Kingdom, and other European markets by 2030.

Regal Cineworld is leveraging an integrated tech stack for the global rollout that includes a Barco Series 4 projector and Barco media server for each installation. With the comprehensive Barco cinema technology system onboard, the exhibitor will enjoy enhanced fleet management and operations with seamless system integration and projector parts commonality.

The deal also includes operator training benefits and real-time insights with Barco’s connectivity solution to support operational efficiency. All sites will be marketed as featuring Barco’s laser projection to highlight the upgraded cinema experience to moviegoers.

Regal Cineworld’s wide move to laser also offers a more environmentally friendly way to present movies with less waste, including the elimination of consumables such as xenon lamps and a significant reduction in energy usage.

“We are excited to expand our relationship with Regal Cineworld and bring Laser by Barco to more moviegoers around the world”, says Gerwin Damberg, EVP of Barco Cinema. “Today’s audiences have high expectations for their entertainment experiences, and we look forward to delighting them.”

Casey Collins, Barco VP Sales Cinema for North America, adds: “In 2024, our long-standing relationship with Regal Cineworld enjoyed a special milestone as together we premiered HDR by Barco to moviegoers in New York, Miami, and London. This deal further advances our shared ambition.” Barco and Regal Cineworld have a nearly 20-year history, starting in 2007 with Barco’s Series 1 digital cinema projectors.
