A decade? Two?
If I owned a movie theatres (exhibitors in the parlance) I wouldn't want to
replace hundreds of fully-amortized film projectors with brand-new digital
projectors. Have you seen the price of digital projectors? Why? Would people
go to see more chick-flicks if they were digitally projected? Naw.
It would be cool to see tne next generation of science fiction in perfect
prints. ("Star Wars-Episode 3" in digital? "Matrix-Reloaded" in digital? I'm
there.) My point is that twice-per-decade film events probably don't drive
upgrades.
