Digital Film Distribution System Coming

Posted by kdawson on from the beam-me-a-hit dept.

aniyo~ writes with word of a collaboration of movie studios with distribution companies to come up with a system for rapid digital distribution of movie masters. Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., and a company called Digital Cinema Implementation Partners are working on technology that will allow much more responsive film distribution based on local needs. DCIP is wholly owned by the Regal, AMC, and Cinemark theater chains, which among them run 14,000 screens in North America. The new system would be available to those and other interested theater operators. About 2,200 U.S. theater screens currently show digital films, and today these are, by and large, delivered on hard drives.

    Slashdot blows. These threads aren't even worth replying to anymore. I've seen better discussion material on the back of a roll of Charmin.

    I emailed your mother about it. I'll paste whatever she says.
