About a year by the emergence of digital projection can be groped any budget.
Although official figures are not kept up to date easy to find, we are now close to 600 screens equipped with digital projector and a system for 3D, so we are in Italy, on the order of 12% of screens that flanked the projection in film in the digital age.
The first fact is this fact: the two are always present, rare are the cases of rooms that have already waived their right to cast in the film and it is still complex with several rooms.
Below I propose a series of elements to present the full picture: a successful film is distributed in 600-700 copies, and then we have some correspondence with the number of digitized salt, because, so far, there have been cases of films that do not were distributed on the support film. It remains a big slice of viewers who prefer the digital 3D film, not only for the recent controversy about the risks and dangers of vision with glasses, just think 3 Toy stories is seeing its revenue between 22 and 25% come from traditional film projection.
From a geographical point of view digital penetration occurred with consistency in the various areas of the country, with no gap between north and south or between towns and villages, also in Italy there is a characteristic represented by fenomento arenas summer towns in the province and in the sea, for a period ranging from 50 to 80 days, re-propose the most successful films of last season, is a phenomenon that still has a significant market share, the second summer "digital", with now a number of 3D films released to arenas all summer is the same as before, with the old film projectors that once again were back on track.
Imagine how the situation will evolve is not easy, the transition is underway and will continue, but I think considering all the scenarios that suggest the disappearance of the film within a very short time to be a bit too optimistic.
