Hey All,

Does anyone have a resource on the net that can give me some real numbers on the number of digital cinema screens in the US and Canada VS 35mm? Are 35mm installs (other then reps)done. Has AMC gone 100% digital?

I would say the number of US installed digital screens is around 14,000.

Unfortunately that's about as specific as I can get.

AFAIK, AMC isn't close to being 100% digital. I don't know of many circuits besides Rave and Carmike whose theaters are 100% or near 100% equipped with digital projection.

http://dcinematoday.com/ is a pretty decent web site for digital projection news.
