"America is one market with one language. Here in Europe, we have a very fragmented market with a lot of different exhibitors, particularly a lot of small exhibitors. Progress will be a lot slower.""I think it's great that Katzenberg is so positive about the 3D market internationally but I can't say that I share his optimism," adds Kemal Görgülü, a partner with Berlin-based consultants Flying Eye, speaking from this week's INSIGHT OUT digital cinema symposium at the HFF Academy in Potsdam, Germany.[...] Worried that the free-market models followed by Arts Alliance and XDC could leave out smaller players and favor studio distributors, the governments of Germany and France have proposed state-backed funds to drive digital upgrades. | Overseas 3-D market has yet to pop by Scott Roxborough and Stuart Kemp, The Hollywood Reporter, 26 March 2009 |
