Re: Sony is doing it again…

Were these the ONLY two hairs on Julie's head? If so, NOT a good thing to draw attention to!

I wonder if this new technology will be of help to theaters. My general impression is that theaters are in somewhat of a crisis, with continuing declining revenues.


This source of this declining revenue may be multifactorial: rising prices, poor quality movies, and, it would seem, most importantly DVD movie sales, insofar as many consumers, even non-home theater types, may opt to view movies on DVD at home because of convenience.

Doesn't it cost something like $100K to retrofit a theater with a digital projector? In a period of declining revenues, how will movie theaters be able to afford the upgrade? And even if they, what about the advent of video on demand, downloadable movies, & the possibility (if Cuban and others have their way) that movies are released simultaneously at the theater and on DVD?

I don't think that movie theaters will disappear entirely, as happened to drivein movie theaters. But I doubt they can count of significant growth.
