Work is currently underway on AMC’s first major broadscale projector upgrade since the transition to digital with the launch of Laser at AMC.
AMC Burbank 16, AMC Burbank 8 and AMC Burbank 6 are now fully enabled with laser projection technology from Cinionic, and over the next several months, most AMC locations in the Los Angeles area will be upgraded.
