Well we have it on our one digital screen, but we also were shipped a 35mm print as a backup. Did anyone else get one? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of digital? Luckily we still can run 35, but what about other theaters? Have they removed the 35 or is it just sitting there? Or maybe Disney doesn't trust the technology yet.
BTW we still have one of the three "Redline" prints that were shipped without being booked. Anybody else still have one?

Carmike's has kept some 35mm projectors in service with new d-cinema projectors installed alongside. A typical 8-plex will have at least a couple screens with 35mm. Large locations (16 to 20 screens) may have three or four 35mm systems.

Carmike was smart about that. Some films (I know Grindhouse wasn't) are not available in Digital format.
