Digital cinema roll out in the Netherlands completed in 14 months.

BERLIN – The Netherlands has gone all digital, converting all of the country’s 789 screens to digital projection 14 months after the digital roll out began.

Digital Cinema Displaying Rapid Global Growth

The bulk of these – more than 500 screens – were converted by Arts Alliance Media as part of the $50 million (€39 million) Cinema Digitaal project.

Film distributors in the Netherlands – the local arms of the U.S. major studios and Dutch independents - put up 70 percent of the funding for the project, with the remainder coming from exhibitors and state support.
