Do theaters get a Hard Drive with the digital copy? Do they stream? Consider the thousands of theaters getting a movie that opens at the same time across the country, I want to know the logistics of getting that data to the theater.

In my cultural center/ movie theater we get a digital key via mail and then use that key to upload the movie over the internet to our digital projector, which then checks the hardware key and only then you can choose the format you want to play the movie in.
Had a problem when the CPU of the projector had to be replaced and then the movie wouldn’t play because of the key being wrong.
