Nov 5, 2012
Subject to the terms and conditions under each agreement, the studios will each separately make certain contributions toward the financing of DCI-compliant digital-cinema projection systems when supplying films, if booked, in certain countries in digital form to DGT’s exhibitors.
"We are very pleased to receive this strong show of support for our digital-cinema rollout in Latin America, enabling moviegoers to enjoy a state-of-the-art, higher-quality theatrical experience," said DGT CEO Tieres Tavares, noting that the agreements address five countries in the region, with the possibility of including additional countries. "The independent exhibitors in Latin America are ready to convert 100% to digital projection, and appreciate the support of the U.S. studios to do so."
Daniel Benitez, chief operating officer of DGT and CEO of Bardan International, a leading distributor of d-cinema equipment in Latin America, added: “Independent exhibitors in Latin America have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. We are very happy to be able to bring our rollout to the table.”
Michael Karagosian, president of MKPE Consulting LLC, a leading Los Angeles-based consultancy in entertainment technology, led negotiations for DGT.
