A long-standing Christie client, Palace Amusement’s 16 screens throughout the country are all equipped with the brand’s projectors. “We have continuously trusted on the brand for its cutting-edge technology and the truth is that our Christie projectors have always been very reliable,” said Shawn V. Smith, CTO at Palace Amusement Company. “At ShowEast we saw a demonstration of Christie’s RGB pure laser projectors and we were very pleased with their light output. The brightness and picture quality were excellent and because of this we had to have it as a first in this region.”

Palace Amusement Company currently operates four cinemas – Carib 5 with 1,355 seats and Palace Cineplex with 349-seats, both in Kingston; Palace Multiplex in Montego Bay, which has 845 seats; and the new Sunshine Palace in St Catherine.
