Does anyone know some place where I can get a current total screen count world wide? Maybe a break down by country?

The Exhibition Guide is an alphabetical listing designed to provide ready reference information on the leading theatrical motion picture circuits. It lists in comprehensive detail such data as company names, addresses and phone numbers, total screens and new screens projected, division office locations, top personnel, recent circuit acquisitions, and a state-by-state breakdown of screens.

Most figures I've seen put the worldwide total of theatrical screens at between 110,000 and 130,000.

Thank you John. On a different note, will you be at ShowEast this year?

I will be at ShowEast. [thumbsup]

I arrive on Monday morning, and will be there the entire week. Certainly I plan on attending the Monday technical seminar, trade show, Inter-Society meeting and SMPTE Projection Technology Committee meeting. Also will be with the Kodak Digital Cinema Team in Suite N.
