Of the studio television I've worked on this year, I'd say about 75% are shot on digital Arri Alexa cams. Of the remainder, it's Red and some Panavision somethings. Only one show was being shot on film, using 35mm.

Dunno much firsthand about theatrical film. :)

is there engough digtal Theaters now
Click to expand...

I dunno how much is "enough", but even my local broke dollar theater has all-digital screens; half of those screens with digital 3D projection capability, too. Also capable of the live-streaming events that used to be limited to just the megaplexes.

Film projection is almost an art-house thing now. Here, anyway. :(
