A few current releases seem to be available still, probably very limited quantity, on film. I think one reason more theaters than I expected have managed the transition is because the studios/distributers relented on the immediate demand for all-digital by 2013. Having more time has let more theaters get through the transition. Some have managed to get the equipment on various lease-to-own plans and continue to fund-raise to pay it off while running the regular operation.Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-7255748154108834162015-06-11T06:39:41.336-04:002015-06-11T06:39:41.336-04:00Do you know if the Skowhegan Maine DI made the st...Do you know if the Skowhegan Maine DI made the step up to digital and is still thriving? It's a little far away, but two or three years ago was thriving in midsummer. It's on a hillside, so not as likely a place to have a flea market to use the space during the weekdays.scott kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587724479735177038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-73930807646116197682015-06-10T10:37:53.601-04:002015-06-10T10:37:53.601-04:00Thanks, Ed, I have both of them.

I expect the Uncasville property is less accessible than it was when I shot there in 2007.Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-91182676042228214342015-06-10T09:34:10.229-04:002015-06-10T09:34:10.229-04:00Do you know about the Mansfield Drive In and Marke...Do you know about the Mansfield Drive In and Marketplace on CT-32, just a little north of Willimantic? I've driven by it many times and assumed you must have photographed it at some time. It seems to be very active. Also, I found there's an abandoned drive-in on CT-32 in Unscasville. I don't know how accessible the property is however.
