Digital cinema
The number of digital cinema projectors is to double, thanks to the creation of 250 digital screens in the UK. Although not distributed via the internet (the files are around 100 Gb), eventually this may happen. It is also likely that a broader range of content can be exhibited in cinemas partly as a result of cheaper distribution costs: one print of a film costs around £1500. With digital distribution this can be dramatically reduced along with the benefit of perfect (digital) copies. As a result, cinemas can keep films for longer, allowing word of mouth a longer period of time to develop. Brazil has big plans, too.
