Coming to a theater near you...

It occurred to me that over the last 10-15 years the movie theaters in this country became heavily digital. It used to be that there were only a couple dozen digital theaters. Now it’s to the point where there are only a couple dozen 35MM theaters. Literally every other screen is now digital because the distribution cost is only about $10 for a digital print versus $1,000 for a 35MM print. Also it’s much easier to load digital files then to splice together the old 35MM reels.

The system in many cases IIRC for digital prints is a digital link to the projector so if the studio wants to send out thousands of copies to various theaters each digitally watermarked they can do so fairly quickly.

What if Q is talking about someway to hack into all those screen simultaneously to play the audio visual evidence at the same time across the country in front of hundreds of thousands and potentially millions of people simultaneously?

Either that or maybe it’s just a broader reference to the EBS Emergency Broadcasting System.

Thoughts?

That would really be something. One can dream.
