It hasn’t been that long since Kaleidescape, a developer of high-performance movie delivery systems for the luxury residential market for over 20 years, announced at CinemaCon 2024 its expansion into the cinema industry. Well now, Kaleidescape and Mercury Studios, one of the most well-known creators, producers and distributors of music-related content worldwide, announced a collaboration to bring the biggest names in music to the cinema.
“Kaleidescape is all about the experience and this collaboration with Mercury Studios enables us to expand our library content offering with standout movie concert performances,” stresses Morgan. “We have seen the box-office success of movie concert re-releases and the Kaleidescape platform gives exhibition a turnkey solution to deliver more movie concerts to their customers.”
Mercury Studios joins Alamo Drafthouse, B&B Theatres, Brenden Theatres, Cinema West, Classic Cinemas, Epic Theatres, Megaplex Theatres, and Star Cinema Grill among the many partners helping to grow Kaleidescape’s commercial platform with Kaleidescape already in agreement with one major Hollywood Studio and in active discussions with several others.
“Mercury Studios is about bringing our exciting films to audiences who love music and want to see their favorite musicians up close and larger than life,” adds Rob Gill, SVP global operations, Mercury Studios. “Our catalog features documentaries and performances by incredible artists including Peter Gabriel, Ella Fitzgerald, INXS, and Syd Barrett. This collaboration with Kaleidescape will bring audiences spectacular performances with the best sound and image quality.”
According to Kaleidescape, its digital lossless content platform is an elegant solution that integrates easily into a movie complex, utilizing the same projectors and audio solutions already installed. Kaleidescape’s movie platform enables secure delivery of library releases, with lossless audio and reference quality video. The Calif.-based company explains its solutions offer access to an array of library content on demand to support the ability to program additional movie screenings or movie marathons and curate special events.

“Kaleidescape’s secure media platform provides operational ease by enhancing flexibility and scalability for the exhibitor and offering access to a diverse array of content for their customers,” states Priscilla Morgan, COO, Kaleidescape. “Much gratitude goes to our studio, exhibition, and technology partners for their innovation in embracing a new content delivery platform.”
On the residential side, Kaleidescape has had a similarly productive year releasing both the Strato V and Terra Prime movie systems while also featuring in an award-winning media room installation, as well as an outdoor theater embedded into black marble. The company also took home a Category Kudos for its Social Media Presence during this year’s Quest For Quality Awards, and it’s very likely we’ll be hearing much more from Kaleidescape on the leadup to CEDIA Expo 2024 in September.
