Christie, a global leader in Digital Cinema, is pleased to announce Shanghai Film Group (SFG) Corporation has selected Christie exclusively for its Digital Cinema deployment plan. Under the initial phase of this growing nationwide plan, SFG will purchase and install a total of 100 Christie DLP Cinema(r) projectors in its United Circuit, located in China.
