Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition (DCDC) has announced they will once again
pay rebates to all customers based on their continued use and support of the
DCDC network. DCDC first issued rebates in 2020, and again in 2022, fulfilling
the promise made to all of its customers as an industry coalition to pay out
any surplus cash to users of the network.
DCDC is responsible
for revolutionizing theatrical digital delivery services across the country,
moving the industry standard away from physical hard drives to encrypted
digital files delivered via satellite and terrestrial distribution
technologies. The industry owned coalition recently announced their renewed
partnership with Deluxe and EchoStar, underscoring their shared vision to
enhance connectivity, streamline content distribution, and eliminate the use of
physical hard drives (HDDs) across the United States.
Howard Kiedaisch,
CEO of DCDC, said: “We are extremely pleased to be able to issue our third
rebate in less than five years! This
exemplifies our mission as a true partnership between our exhibition and
content partners. It also underscores the continued advancements in technology,
combined with the high use of the network that allows for the economies of
scale we have been able to achieve.”
The pioneering
North American theatrical content distribution company, launched in October
2013, continues to grow, with over 3,120 sites and more than 33,300 screens in
the network across the U.S. DCDC’s live theatrical footprint has surpassed 1,320
sites with a wide variety of events including Q&As, concerts, sporting
events, and more. The DCDC Network has successfully delivered thousands of
feature films, events, trailers, and special content to theaters across the
country.
