Thanks n4cer. "In June 1999, digital cinema technology was used commercially for the first time when a digital cinema version of the movie "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" was presented in six theaters. This presentation was a landmark event in many ways, but it primarily demonstrated that digital cinema can be a viable option for movie production and playback. The commercial digital cinema experience creates new opportunities for everyone involved in the movie-making process, including filmmakers, producers, theater owners, and even moviegoers."
