Digital cinema coming to theaters in mid-June UNION-TRIBUNE March 20, 1999 "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace" will be the first movie shown on new rival digital cinema projectors from CineComm and Texas Instruments beginning June 18, a month after the anticipated megablockbuster debuts. Director George Lucas this month signed deals with the two companies to showcase the nascent digital technology, which promises to deliver crystal-clear pictures and threatens to bury the film-processing and distribution industries. Those industries have been largely unchanged for nearly a century. CineComm and Texas Instruments each will provide digital projector technology on four screens in two as-yet undisclosed cities. San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc. has helped CineComm develop a secure way to beam movies via satellite to theaters that one day may be equipped with digital projectors.
