Lead image makes no sense
[edit]The lead image shows some seats in a movie theater with the caption "Stadium seating rows closer to digital cinema screens offer significantly more immersive experiences." What does that have to do with digital cinema? More immersive than what? Film? How? I can't find anything in the article that discusses this. GA-RT-22 (talk) 01:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Effect on distribution
[edit]The citation given for the statement "To print an 80-minute feature film can cost US$1,500 to $2,500" doesn't seem to say anything of the sort. The closest thing I can see in that article to that figure is an anecdote about how much large format splicers cost, which is a completely different thing. 103.240.114.196 (talk) 07:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- There is a bit about the cost of prints toward the end. She says she needed to raise $30,000 to make a print for a festival in Berlin. But it's unclear how much she actually spent, and that also included sound and a negative. And this was for one (or maybe three) prints, I'm sure the big time distributors are paying less when they order a hundred prints at a time. I think the best we could do with that source is say "thousands of dollars" but even that is a stretch. Probably best to find a new source. GA-RT-22 (talk) 20:47, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
