Simply Money.

Replacing cinema projectors is extremely expensive. These aren’t your 500-$1000 home projectors. These are upwards to $200,000 network connected projectors and when you multiply that by 10 to 24 or more screens in a multi plex theatre, it’s just not feasible to replace ones that currently function perfectly fine.
