EntertainThe show starts as your customers enter the theater lobby. Sights and sounds transform the entire area into a magical environment, promoting an upcoming movie title - choreographed movie characters take over the lobby and surround your guests while large format trailers dominate the lobby for a unique immersive experience. This unique form of entertainment increases dwell time and encourages moviegoers to come early for this ‘show before the show’.

EngageSmart phone integration allows moviegoers to interact with content that’s being displayed throughout the lobby. Buying advance tickets, downloading trailers, taking trivia quizzes, sharing information about movies – all these things are an integral part of building greater customer intimacy.

MonetizeCombining digital signage with the mobile platform enables customers to buy advance tickets to upcoming movies as well as share their cinema experience on social media so that friends can join too. Engaging customers with your website, and driving loyalty club or newsletter enrollment, is seamless as well. You also increase your revenue by promoting movie title t-shirts and toy sales, as well as by offering rewards for transactions.

The prelude

An interactive experience

iD – Interactive Dimension™ – is brought to you by Barco and Audience Entertainment, bringing a sense of community and enjoyment back to the cinema experience by putting interactive storytelling into the hands of the audience. From the smart phone to the big screen, and back again, audiences can move, cheer, and play as a team influencing the outcome of the stories unfolding in front of them. This creates a unique and engaging pre-movie experience.

Prepare to Escape

By adding extra screens on both sides of the big screen, Barco Escape challenges the single-screen standard to provide a bigger, more intense and encompassing canvas. It extends current boundaries and opens up a world of new possibilities to restore audiences’ excitement for cinema. Barco Escape turns pre-show advertising into an immersive audience experience, rather than something to be ignored while waiting for the movie to begin. Offering studios the ability to bring their movies and promotions to life on a grander scale, Barco Escape lifts content to a higher level, enchanting audiences with immersive entertainment that’s all around them.

As soon as they take their seats in the movie theater, moviegoers are

enveloped on all sides by stunning imagery for an immersive and interactive

pre-movie experience. In this way, the 22 minutes before the movie provide

exceptional entertainment value and improved advertising revenue.
