Barco, the leader in laser-powered cinema solutions, continues its special exhibition of the highly anticipated HDR by Barco cinema format for moviegoers, adding DreamWorks Animation’s THE WILD ROBOT (Sept 27) and Warner Bros. Pictures’ JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX (Oct 4) to its slate of films. Part of a collaboration with AMC Theatres, B&B Theatres, and Regal Cinemas, the HDR by Barco program gives moviegoers in major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Miami, and Kansas City the opportunity to be among the first in the world to experience Barco’s groundbreaking High Dynamic Range (HDR) presentation with Lightsteering. The exhibition opened with Paramount Animation and Hasbro Entertainment’s TRANSFORMERS ONE on September 20th and runs through the end of the year.
Based on the company’s patented Lightsteering technology, Barco’s approach to HDR works by strategically redistributing light on screen to produce highlights that are over 6x brighter than traditional projection, while retaining rich details in the darks for greater depth, clarity, and range. HDR by Barco delivers expansive creative possibilities for filmmakers, producing a wide color gamut with high-contrast images that captivate audiences.
HDR by Barco is available in select premium screens at:
- AMC Americana at Brand 18 (Los Angeles, CA)
