Cinema is in the process of converting all the world’s screens to digital projection equipment. However, since the development began in earnest in 1999, numerous problems have been encountered in replacing its longstanding analogue forerunner, not least who is going to pay for this conversion and how and by whom will it be undertaken.
The publication of technical specifications by a joint US studio led grouping in 2005 proved a catalyst for a US-wide first phase roll-out and this territory has taken a significant advance over much of the world. We are now at a stage where the foundations have been laid for a European-wide mainstream deployment to begin, and this report analyses the business models being developed, the value proposition for both exhibitors and distributors, the remaining challenges for deployment companies, the forecasted speeds of adoption by all territories and key driver territories and companies.
Key findings:
- At the end of 2007, 5.5 per cent of the world’s modern screens are converted to digital and we predict that by 2012 this will rise to 48 per cent.
- The dominant business model for digital conversion is the Virtual Print Fee, but there may be other models entering the market
- The driver market is the USA, but significant government involvement is pushing other countries, such as China, UK and Norway.
- Despite almost full digital provision of studio movies in the USA, a key obstacle to overcome in Europe, outside of the business model, is the provision of arthouse and European content.
- The main financial beneficiaries, certainly in the short-term, are distributors but digital 3D and alternative content are forming the beginnings of a persuasive business case for the exhibitor
- The digital conversion will cost an approximate $10bn worldwide over the next ten years
In the report:
- Forecasts of digital cinema screen growth by territory to 2012
Overview of the current state of the market; globally, regionally and for key driver territories
- Analysis of the current business models, focusing on the Virtual Print Fee but also exploring others in the global and European market
- Analysis of the European digital cinema market and the obstacles blocking growth
- The digital cinema value proposition for the distributor, including an evaluation of print costs and distributor benefits
- The digital cinema value proposition for the exhibitor, including digital 3D, alternative content, and theatre management systems
- Full datasets for digital screen growth and penetration, projector manufacturer sales and market shares, projector market sizes, server manufacturer market shares and digital content.
- Analysis of the key challenges remaining to resolve before full market roll-out can be achieved
- Analysis of the progress made towards the digital delivery of movies by satellite or other means
- Analysis of the role that Hollywood has played in the move towards digital conversion
- Full company profiles for all key digital cinema players (exhibitors, projector manufacturers, server manufacturers, third-party facilitators, digital 3D system manufacturers
- Digital cinema progress timeline from 1999 to 2007
