Some clever guy will hack into a theater's digital movie server and get himself a clean copy.<br /><br />I also think the higher performance of 3D theaters is misleading. They are just draining sales that would have gone to regular screens. When releases are on all 3D screens the grosses will look just like they did before.<br /><br />The cinema owners recoup part of their conversion cost by charging a "digital print" fee for every showing of a digital movie. I don't know how high that fee is but I bet it and cost of conversion of media to the proprietary digtal format is enough to continue making it difficult for independents to get their work into theaters, just like the cost of making a 35mm print has been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-19202066763827755952009-06-17T15:28:45.644-07:002009-06-17T15:28:45.644-07:00I am unconvinced that 3-D isn't a fad and I ha...I am unconvinced that 3-D isn't a fad and I have partaken in creating a couple. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is a way for the studios to get the theater chains to pony up the big bucks to convert their screens into digital projections. Thereby lessening the cost of prints. The theaters need a reason to pay up so studios start cranking out 3D pics (in digital) and the theaters jump on the band wagon. Big ticket sales, big money. Easy math. What remains to be seen is once the theaters have converted enough screens, they will lessen the 3D output and create regular films in digital projects saving a ton of money in print costs, deliveries and piracy fears. 5 years tops.<br /><br />Jerry Beck has my back: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/3dC:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12683229552295149399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-8664254607519273542009-06-17T10:06:29.781-07:002009-06-17T10:06:29.781-07:00Mea Culpa.

Then he would start stories and never finish them. Then he didn't even start them. That was a few years ago. Since then he has turned out your daily dose of, "we already know that news" or "we don't care about another book coming out" or "Wow, you went up in a lawn chair with balloons in Boston". He just plain sucks now.
