1-4 Status of Digitalized Cinema <strong>The</strong>atres in Japan<br />
(1) Status of Digital Cinema in Japan.<br />
According to IMAGICA’s web site, there are 50 movie theatres with a total of 73<br />
screens in Japan that show films using DLP Cinema Projectors. In spite of the<br />
proactive stance taken by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry towards<br />
digital cinema, <strong>Japanese</strong> distribution companies and exhibitors are not aware of<br />
a great demand <strong>for</strong> digital screens. Compared to its status in Japan, it is fair to<br />
say that digital cinema is more advanced in Korea and China. However, as far as<br />
projectors are concerned, <strong>Japanese</strong> manufacturers such as Sony, NEC, and<br />
Christi (Ushio) are geared up <strong>for</strong> digitalization and are likely to make greater<br />
progress in future.
