1. The Eaton Theater is currently using 35mm film.
2. Many companies are switching to a non-film (digital) format, which will render many older projectors obsolete. New projectors can be quite expensive, creating a problem for the Eaton Theater and others like it who might not have enough money to buy one.
3. Fox will definitely no longer be using film to create its movies.
4. Digital projectors are considered cost prohibitive because many smaller theaters simply don't have enough money to purchase them (even if it'll drive them out of business).
5. The digital equipment would cause the Eaton Theater to lose an upwards of twenty percent of its profits because of the high cost of each movie screening.
6. I think that the best thing for the Eaton Theater to do in this situation is to buy the digital projector because it's the only way for them to stay in business.
