Theatres, owners of The Grand Theatres and AmStar Cinemas, to provide digital cinema
projectors at locations in nine states. The move by VSS-Southern Theatres extends its
current relationship with NEC and Ballantyne Strong, Inc., and positions this leading

extreme reliability, performance and brightness. The projectors also were chosen for
their upgrade capabilities to 4K technology.
The full complement of NEC digital cinema projectors can be seen in Palace 5 (Booth
No. 1205) at ShoWest
2010, the motion picture theater industry convention held today
through March 18 at Bally’s & Paris in Las Vegas, Nev.
