After years of planning, developing technical specifications and considering business models, the digital-cinema revolution begins in 2006.

It looks as if we're finally getting more movies for families. We're all for a varied slate, movies for kids, movies for adults. But the thing that's going to get business going is when families come to the theater together.

Consumers have many options for entertainment and leisure time. Theater operators must continue to innovate and to create the optimal experience.

It takes good movies and a good theater experience to bring people out. Both are happening now.
