Digital Cinema Report

Ten years in, digital cinema has become a reality. With most of the technical and business issues at least on the brink of solution, the big questions now are how long is the roll-out going to take, and when is going to be the best time to get on the bandwagon.

Our Digital Cinema Report offers the information, analysis and pointers to help involved parties negotiate the next stage of digital cinema deployment. The report documents current digital cinema system installations in detail, and looks at financing models and new revenue sources to predict the likely pace of development in this market. It is distinguished from other research in this area by its avoidance of over-detailed accounts of technology, lists of theatres and movies, and other arcana; instead, it focuses on the real dynamics, and genuinely important features of the market, to give a convincing account of where it is headed.

Digital Cinema Report will help your organisation refine its digital cinema strategy, offering insights into the strategies of other key players in the market, and theoretical tools to dissect them with. Backed by nearly twenty years researching international film distribution and exhibition, the report looks at how the new technology will impact sectors of the market ranging from film laboratories to art houses and rural cinemas, answering questions like: will the multiplex model survive and adapt? who will be winners and losers from the new technology? how robust are current financing models?

Equipment suppliers, integrators, film distributors, exhibitors, cinema advertising companies, alternative content suppliers and financial institutions are just some of the types of organisation that will benefit from this insightful and essential report.
