I would really like you to be right and for there still be a reason for
distributors to release new films as prints just to cater to poor, hot
countries like India and that it would somehow be more affordable for
theaters in those countries to deal with the current distribution system
rather than whatever is coming next with digital projectors. I have to
admit I don't know that much about theaters in the third world but I'm
still skeptical that the poor will keep a more expensive way of
distributing films alive.
