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.

I used to work at the movies, so I know a little about this. Most of the time, the movies come in an encrypted hard drive. We plug them into the projector computer download and play. Sometimes we download via satellite, pretty rare in my experience. And for those directors that want the movie to be in film. We get reels and reels and reels. For those we usually start splicing the reels together onto the platter early Monday to run it Wednesday night and look for any defects in picture, sound and order, and that’s it.
