Vue, the largest privately owned cinema operator in Europe, has signed a deal to install Barco projectors across Vue’s European estate. The roll-out is to screens across all eight countries in Vue’s portfolio.
The deal will see an initial installation of more than 1,000 Barco Series 4 projectors and
Barco media servers introduced to Vue’s screens by the end of 2029, starting the roll out in the
UK, Germany and Denmark.
Vue Southport in the North West of England was the first of Vue’s
cinemas to undergo installation and Vue Westfield Shepherd’s Bush in London, the company’s flagship site, will be next
in line.
Commenting on the deal, Tim Richards CBE, CEO and founder of Vue, said: “We are
delighted to be partnering with Barco to deliver more than 1000 laser projectors across eight countries. Barco’s laser
technology complements our investments in Lux and Ultra Lux recliner seats as well as the recently unveiled
Vue Your Way, our new take on foyers. These exciting developments will ensure we continue to provide the
ultimate big screen experience to our customers and are perfectly positioned for the opportunities that lie ahead.”
