Summary Global digital cinema projector (DCP) market is ideally positioned to experience growth in the near term due to the conversions of conventional projectors to digital cinema projectors. Additional demand emerges from a largely under-penetrated market for 3D and digital cinematography equipment. Current movie theater business model is continuously threatened by a constant rise in digital downloads by consumers, large-scale availability of less expensive rental options, and the studios' intentions of reducing or eliminating theatrical release lifecycle to raise DVD sales. In order to stay relevant, cinema operators are now exploring options of enhancing viewer experience, which can be effectively achieved by digitizing the cinema theatres. Transformation to digital formats offer numerous benefits to cinema operators, mainly cost savings, which assume the form of cost involved for printing, physically transporting films, and retrieving the physical celluloid prints. Digital cinema also offers operators the flexibility of customized on-demand entertainment options. The global cinema industry is currently undergoing a transition towards complete digitalization.
