Empire Cinemas (UK) get all-digital multiplex

Hot on the heels of Odeon's two all-digital multiplexes, The-Spun-Off-Cinema-Chain-Formerly -Known-As-UCI, Empire has launched it's own all-digital multiplex at a six-screen site in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, according to Screendaily:

The theatre chain, which has 16 sites across the UK, has partnered with Kodak, Barco and Bell Theatre Services to install the latest in digital cinema projection technology for all six screens at its 1697-seat multiplex in High Wycombe.

Justin Ribbons, CEO, Empire Cinemas said: "Empire Cinemas is the largest private cinema operator in the UK and the switch to all digital at High Wycombe demonstrates our commitment to delivering an improved and outstanding entertainment experience to our customers."

Kodak and BTS already supported one of Odeon's two all-digital multiplex sites near London and I wonder if, as rumoured, they are contributing to this one free of charge as well.
