CHRISTIE<br />
n Recently opened Movie<br />
Tavern Citiplace in Baton<br />
Rouge, Louisiana, has selected<br />
Christie as the exclusive<br />
provider of entertainment<br />
solutions to power all 10 of<br />
its screens.<br />
Following $6 million in<br />
renovations, the new state-ofthe-art<br />
entertainment center<br />
continues Movie Tavern’s national<br />
expansion efforts dedicated<br />
to creating full-service<br />
in-theater dining destinations<br />
across 21 theaters and 171<br />
digital screens.<br />
“Selecting the suite of Christie entertainment solutions<br />
from their Solaria projectors and Vive Audio line<br />
is an integral part of our strategy,” says Ron Krueger<br />
II, president and chief operating officer, Southern<br />
Theatres, which owns Movie Tavern. “With their<br />
design, installation services, and monitoring through<br />
their network-operations center, Christie provides our<br />
circuit the reassurance that we’re receiving the latest<br />
technology innovations and services.”<br />
Southern Theatres was one of the first major exhibitors<br />
in the U.S. to power a multiplex exclusively with<br />
Christie Vive Audio and Christie Solaria Series projectors.<br />
In addition to the Movie Tavern in Baton Rouge,<br />
Louisiana, Southern Theatres also plans the Christie<br />
Vive installation at the Movie Tavern in Flourtown,<br />
Pennsylvania.<br />
