I can see this finally being the death of the small town movie theaters and drive-ins. I’m not sure if some of these places will still be able to upgrade.

Call me a cynic, but even though theatrical presentations may be enhanced, and distribution and print costs will be cut, I highly doubt that would effect the cost of the movie ticket. Its an opportunity for bigger profit margins is all it means. I dont think this digital projection will aid in the declining audiences. Having prices come down, sure, but I really dont see that happening.

I’m assuming this is US only. Will be interesting to see how will this happen outside of US. In my country there are less than 10 theatres so far. Shouldn’t be a problem for theatres in bigger cities and for chains but still might take a while.

Is this world-wide or just the US?

I wonder how large a digital copy is in size for a movie theater setup.

With all this money being put into thereaters I hope that please please please let there be more commercials so the movie can start 45 minutes later than what is advertised. When I go to the movies I really go to learn about this new soft drink called Coca-Cola. Has anyone here had Coca-Cola what does it taste like.

I wonder if the MPAA has worked out the kinks in their (death ray) screen countermeasure against movie pirating.

Use a camera to bootleg movies, and you die!
