Kaboom Cinema was a home theater installation company, describing itself in 2007 as Real Home Theater Installers. It sold installation rather than equipment, and the archived homepage is the whole of the surviving record.
The business is the direct commercial application of the job Maddison Lake held in Los Angeles, at what he later described as one of the nation's largest cinema equipment and installation firms, where he rose to a leadership role. Commercial projection and sound work converts fairly directly into residential installation, and Kaboom Cinema is that conversion.
The only year documented for Kaboom Cinema is 2007. No logo or brand asset has been recovered and no brand colors are recorded.
The strategic point
Why it mattered
The record places three early businesses in the phase the Los Angeles job opened: Kaboom Cinema, Kaboom Tune and Cinema Preservation Group. Kaboom Cinema took the installation skill into residential work, and Cinema Preservation Group took the industry knowledge into equipment finance and equipment acquisition. Converting employment into a proprietary position, rather than into a line on a resume, appears here in its simplest form, and the company repeats the move at considerably larger scale later.
