Digital cinema allows to reduce the time-to-market of the products. This leads to have a faster return by gaining more admissions from the early days.
Thanks to digital cinema, it is possible to maximize the revenues by having products in each market segment (since several versions of the same film can be easily offered). It is also easier to place some special products in niche markets.
Digital cinema means security (encrypted copies, Cinelink, watermarking, …). This leads to a consequent reduction of the copyright thefts and then a reduction of the corresponding losses.
Digital copies are cheaper than 35mm prints Transport costs are strongly reduced (2kg vs 15kg !!) Several dubbed or subtitled versions can be stored on the same disk One disk per venue instead of one disk per screen!!!
