TALCA, Chile – Christie^® is pleased to announce that Chilean cinema chain Muvix has equipped all seven theatres of its new multiplex in Talca, Chile with CineLife+™ cinema projectors.

The new complex has a capacity of 1,313 seats across seven theatres with screens that range in size from 10 meters (33 feet) to 16 meters (52 feet) wide. Auditoriums are equipped with Christie CineLife + projectors that deliver brightness of 9,000 to 22,000 lumens.
