Barco and Kinopolis Expand Partnership to Drive Laser-Powered Cinema Across Germany

Barco, a global leader in laser cinema, and Kinopolis, one of the largest cinema groups in Germany, have signed a four-year agreement to complete a 100% laser projection rollout across the chain’s mainstream screens. Building on a successful partnership established in 2022, this new deal includes the installation of 70+ Barco Series 4 (2K and 4K) laser projectors across 11 theater locations. 

The announcement comes as Kinopolis is being honored at CineEurope with the UNIC/Coca-Cola Retail Award for hospitality-led cinema at the newly opened cinema at Bad Homburg, as well as the ICTA Best New Build Cinema award for its innovative Hamburg HafenCity venue. The expanded partnership with Barco cements Kinopolis’s position as an industry leader dedicated to exceptional moviegoing experiences.

The award-winning Barco Series 4 laser projection family delivers industry-leading image brightness, superior contrast, more vivid color, and improved clarity. With consistently high light output, Laser by Barco brings films to life, ensuring every frame is presented with remarkable precision and detail. 

Kinopolis operates Germany’s premier flagship theaters, including Munich’s most-visited Mathäser Filmpalast and Hamburg’s “cinema of the future” HafenCity. Backed by Barco’s laser technology, these venues will continue to set the global standard for modern cinema.
