Hi, actually know this and have worked with it
There are two main ways: fiber connection or physical drives.
Fiber connection: A movie theater has a fiber connection and downloads the movie. Thats it in a simple sense
Hard drive: A theater receives by mail (or carrier like UPS) a hard drive containing the movie.
These are then ingested, ewwww, into the movie theater’s software and prepared to be exhibited.
All of this is encrypted…heavily, to ensure there can’t be any shenanigans with copying the movie.
