MORRISTOWN, N.J., Aug. 27 -- Access Integrated
Technologies, Inc. ("AccessIT") (Nasdaq: AIXD), the industry leader in
digital cinema, announced today that the company has installed its 3,000th
digital cinema system. The company is continuing to work toward its goal of
completing its initial 4,000-screen deployment by the end of October.
"This is a significant milestone for AccessIT as well as for the
theater owners and the studios whom we serve," noted Bud Mayo, president
and CEO of AccessIT. "Theater operators across the country are joining the
digital age to gain better control of scheduling, faster and more efficient
delivery of content and have access to alternative programming options to
attract sales and drive new revenue streams."
AccessIT's Theatre Command Center(TM) software, Christie DLP Cinema(R)
projectors and other networked hardware combine to play both feature movies
and PreFlix advertising. Integrated satellite systems enable the theatres
to receive digital movies, 3D content and other material such as concerts
and sporting events. AccessIT Digital Cinema is the only program today that
combines all these features to enable exhibitors to realize all the
operational and financial benefits of digital cinema technology.
To date, AccessIT has contracted to install close to 3,700 systems.
Deployments have been completed with the following exhibitors: Allen
Theatres, MJR Theatres, Showplace Cinemas, Marquee Cinemas, Neighborhood
Cinema Group, Celebration! Cinema, Cinema West, Cinetopia, Emagine,
UltraStar, Galaxy, Rave and Carmike Cinemas and AccessIT's own Pavilion
Digital Showcase Cinema.
Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. (AccessIT) provides theater
operators the first and only studio-backed fully networked digital cinema
system delivering more than three million digital screenings of Hollywood
feature films to date. The company's digital cinema system provides feature
films and alternative content via satellite to expand box office sales and
develop new ways to attract incremental revenues. Through its alternative
content division, The Bigger Picture, AccessIT offers channels of
programming including Kidtoons, Faith Based, Music and Anime. The ongoing
4,000-screen deployment is the largest of its kind in the world. Access
