3D digital screen boom in the U.S.
The technology is here
After years, it seems that the 3D movie industry is about to take off.
Movie exhibitor, Regal Entertainment Group, has reached a deal with privately held RealD 3D to upgrade 1,500 screens with 3-D technology. The Regal deal is the largest commitment to 3-D by any movie theatre chain, the companies said, raising the number of screens running RealD's 3-D technology to over 3,500.
The movie theatres have to upgrade to digital projectors and can then add the 3-D technology. Film studios are rushing to put out more films in 3D that use the technology, and there is a concern that there will not be enough theatres capable of showing them.
