Analysis by: Marty Shindler, Chief Executive Officer ,'Monsters vs. Aliens' in 3-D: Taking filmmaking to another dimension | www.latimes.com
Even though the average box office for 3D movies is 2 – 3 times the 2D version, failure to gain the necessary new digital and 3D theaters could result in fewer 3D movies being made and in turn could cause a continued drop in home entertainment revenues. This must be solved in the next 3 – 6 months in order to have an adequate base of theaters for the numerous projects that ar

Will 3D be the savior for IMAX?
December 7, 2007
Analysis by: Marty Shindler, Chief Executive Officer ,IMAX makes screen play | www.variety.com
Lots of us considered IMAX down and out in recent years as the institutional theater market (museums, etc.) began to dry up and as IMAX and others failed to provide sufficient appropriate content to the commercial theater circuits to which the Company was selling systems. Now with 3D being one of the very HOT topics in Hollywood and due to the success of two opening weekends of Beowulf in Imax 3D, the time may be right for Imax.

But Will It Add More Subs and More Revenue?
September 27, 2007
Analysis by: Marty Shindler, Chief Executive Officer ,DirecTV Expands HD Channels | www.twice.com
DirecTV has added 21 new HD Channels to their existing tier of 31 toward a goal of 100 by year end. This is great news for their subscribers and for those who understand and appreciate the big difference that viewing in HD can make. However, the question becomes whether this will add a significant number of new subscribers and/or cause existing customers to upgrade their service to the HD or premium packages. A Best Buy study released earlier this week notes that education is still required to insure that owners of HD TVs fully understand the need to add an HD service to their existing accounts from DirecTV, Dish, their local cable companies or even the nascent video delivery services from the telcos. The study released by Best Buy this week states that only 19% of HDTV owners indicate they fully understand HD.
