They are sent encrypted over the Internet as Digital Cinema Packages (DCP), a DCP is a collection of files that includes the main feature, trailers, subtitles, and other necessary data for proper playback. It is the standardized format used in digital cinema projection.

Most theaters today are digital and will require DCP format.
