Now that the digital revolution has passed the mid-point numerically, it is time to speak of these issues. What expenses are ahead that will cost real money when VPF payments from the studios end? Why hasn't Alternative Content gone any further than it has toward filling the gap in the costs of film projection v digital?
We're not sure what to make of Wednesday's Prioritizing Concessions in the New Digital Environment: A Panel Discussion on the creative adaptation of new space and communication that delivers profit to the bottom line. Somehow we can't get the byte to bite calculator working, but maybe we will by the next report.
The rest of the schedule hasn't been filled in yet. We'll make this an Ongoing Article, adding to it as Mr. Neuhauser fills us in.
