Lack of Digital Screens for Attack of the Clones

Posted by timothy on from the they'll-have-to-clone-some-more dept.

spt writes: "CNN Entertainment has an article describing Lucas Arts' disappointment at the lack of digital screens available for Attack of the Clones. When the Phantom Menace was released, they were hoping that, by May 2002, there would be 2000 digital screens. That estimate dropped to 'several hundred', but the reality is that now there are only 20 digital screen in the U.S. Who has been lucky enough to see a digitally produced film in one of these 20? Is there enough of a benefit to think that more screens will be converted to digital projection?"

    Do I want Lucas to delay the release, or get it over with quickly so he can hurry up and put the series out of its' misery?
