The state of Digital Cinema


According to Variety's story, Digital Cinema might finally hit theatres this year.

Fox and Disney are now releasing their movies in both film and digital formats. Theatre chains have a variety of vendors to work with. Customers are asking for the digital experience.

The issue here is where will customers go? Over a million home theatre systems are already installed. Millions of consumers now watch movies (legally) using a variety of internet services. DVD sales have proven how much money can be made outsidee theatrical releases. Theatre owners have to move now, or see their franchises erode.
