All AV equipment is situated within a different room than the theater, with the projector projecting through a port glass situated within the center of the back wall, comprising specialist non-reflective clear optical pane of glass by Edmund Optics. Doors comprise the same acoustic doorsets that are used for sound-proofing in professional recording studios. The background noise floor of the room is so deathly quiet that it literally cannot be measured, because it is below the minimum threshold of professional SPL meters.
Here is a photo taken in HDR from the back of the theater with a movie playing and the lights off; wherein, as you can see, with the absence of environmental reflections all that is visible is the movie image surrounded by a black abyss, for the absolute ultimate with respect to immersion and video performance:
