– How do movie theaters get the digital copy of the movies they are showing?

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.

Most of the distbuters send the theator a physical copy of the movie in a Special hardrive enclosure called CRU Drive. The drive is formated in the EXT2 format and movie is saved as 10- bit jpeg 2000 files in ‘xyz’ color space and the sound track as a seperate wav file.
