December 2009
Hollywood Classics is proud to announce the launch of a digital cinema pilot program in Sweden and the Czech Republic over the 2009/2010 holiday season.
Following our participation in the British government-sponsored NESTA Take 12 Initiative, Hollywood Classics is proving its commitment to moving into the digital age with an offering of four classic movies.
Both territories involved in the pilot program are screening SOME LIKE IT HOT and IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Sweden is also screening THE SOUND OF MUSIC, while the Czech Republic is offering THE GODFATHER.
There are currently over 2,300 digital screens in Western Europe, and this figure is expected to increase significantly in 2010.
As more cinemas around the world become DCI compatible, Hollywood Classics will be making many more titles available for digital projection. We will shortly be announcing the next slate of titles in the digital cinema program.
