M

ovies have become integrated 

into our lives in many ways. 

The movie theater has become 

the center of our social community 

and our memories. They have been 

transformed from a single screen to a 

multi-screen complex. Maintaining the 

smooth operation of all the systems 

has become demanding. Every movie 

theater needs to provide the audience 

with a seamless experience on each vis-

it to create loyal customers. Crown now 

introduces CXM2000, a device used to 

ensure that every customer leaves the 

theater with a smile (or a tear if it is a 

French movie).
