Warner's is also going to try this again with The Exorcist early next month. If the companies really wanted to do it right they would be send the hard drive or download to a hard drive to the theatres and allow it to be shown only on digital screens (2k up to 4k). This is what Paramount did for the Grease Sing-A-Long this summer. We would then get a fairly good idea how the blu-ray will look, because the NCM presentation will not be in that league.
