http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_500x_avatar12.jpgEven movie theaters have to deal with the onus of DRM—3D versions of Avatar have a complex system "which involves several certificates and server-delivered time-sensitive keys for hard drives and projectors" that completely blew up (http://torrentfreak.com/drm-fiasco-ruins-james-camerons-avatar-3d-preview-091217/) at some screenings.
Several theaters in Germany received 3D versions of Avatar with borked encryption for preview screenings. After trying for several hours to get the 150GB of blue kitties and Sam Worthington scowling in 3D decrypted so they could play it, at least one theater gave up and went 2D.
I think I would've walked out, since I like, have to see it (http://gizmodo.com/5429424/avatar-review-yes-it-changed-everything-after-all?skyline=true&s=x) in 3D now. (And if it doesn't change everything, I'm going to hot-glue 3D glasses to Mark's head.)
