Christie was specifically selected and entrusted by longstanding partner Hoyts Cinema Technology Group (CTG) to provide digital cinema projection technology for the Australian première of Paramount Pictures’ Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.

For this major event, Hoyts CTG transformed the Darling Harbour Theatre at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) into a state-of-the-art theatre to screen the highly-anticipated action film in the long-running Mission: Impossible franchise. The Christie CP4435-RGB pure laser cinema projector lit up a screen measuring 17 m wide and 7 m high (55 ft by 22 ft) with bright, vivid images in 4K resolution. For the first time at an Australian film première, Hoyts CTG deployed the Christie CineLife+ Series projector, recognized for its “advanced electronics and unparalleled cinematic performance”.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is the seventh motion picture in the Mission: Impossible series starring Tom Cruise as the main protagonist, IMF agent Ethan Hunt. The Australian première was a star-studded extravaganza with the red carpet attended by Cruise, McQuarrie, Australian celebrities, and a sizeable audience.

Paramount Pictures chose Hoyts CTG, a leading cinema technology and digital signage solutions provider, to deliver the technical support, integration, and installation for the film’s debut in Australia. A trusted Christie partner, Hoyts CTG’s enduring relationship with Christie gave it complete confidence in installing the Christie CP4435-RGB cinema projector to bring Ethan Hunt’s latest adventure to life on the big screen with stunning visuals.

“For the extraordinary demands of the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Australian première at ICC Sydney, we relied on Christie’s exceptional RGB pure laser projector,” said Adam Wrightson, managing director, Hoyts CTG. “Drawing upon our longstanding partnership with Christie, we had utmost trust that this projector would brilliantly illuminate the 17 m screen.
