ovies have become integrated

into our lives in many ways.

The movie theater has become

the center of our social community

and our memories. They have been

transformed from a single screen to a

multi-screen complex. Maintaining the

smooth operation of all the systems

has become demanding. Every movie

theater needs to provide the audience

with a seamless experience on each vis-

it to create loyal customers. Crown now

introduces CXM2000, a device used to

ensure that every customer leaves the

theater with a smile (or a tear if it is a

French movie).
