Theaters To Go Digital -- By the Thousands
In a move that is likely to force the transition to digital projection in movie theaters, Carmike Cinemas, the nation's third-largest chain, said it would convert 2,300 auditoriums to digital by October 2007. The projectors will be provided by Christie Digital Systems Inc., while software will come from Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. Currently only about 100 theaters in the U.S. are equipped with digital systems. Bud Mayo, AccessIT's CEO, told the London Financial Times: "It would be hard to exaggerate the significance of today's development as a major milestone for the industry and for our respective companies." And in an interview with today's (Tuesday) Los Angeles Times, industry analyst Dennis McAlpine remarked, "Most of the [deals] have been bits and pieces. ... I think this is the one that says, 'OK, everyone is going to have some digital.'" --imdb
Dear Carmike,
You should spend your money (i.e. chapter 11 four years ago) on cleaning your theaters. They are a disgrace. And give your employees raises, at least every two or three years. Think about it.
Sincerely,
Nicole
Post Script: you are all fucking douchebags.
