Last week, several theater chains and studios announced they were
nearing an estimated $1.1 billion financing deal to upgrade cinemas to
digital technology. This investment is expected to boost attendance and
save Hollywood billions of dollars in various annual print and delivery
costs.
"We're hopeful that in the second quarter we will get it all arranged,"
said Travis Reid, chief executive of Digital Cinema Implementation
Partners (DCIP).
DCIP is a joint venture between Regal Entertainment Group, Cinemark Holdings Inc and AMC Entertainment Inc.
Growthink assisted in the development of the strategic business plan for the joint venture.
