I have heard rumors that certain studios and Bank of America have teamed to offer special financing to theatres for digital upgrades.

Does any body have any information of this? Prove/disprove? any ideas how to access this cash pool?

I also heard that Regal is taking its entire chain digital...any thoughts?

Pretty much ALL chains are going all digital.

They didn't appreciate people who did film right, so hopefully (for them and their customers) digital will improve their presentation- though I don't know of the problems that can occur with that.
