Would anyone who has worked with Cinedigm (or any other digital equipment installer) mind sharing some rough cost estimates?
Specifically, I am interested in:
1) Initial Installation/Startup Fees (if possible, please provide your per screen cost for the digital projection upgrade)
2) Annual Maintenance Fees (I believe Cinedigm does 2-3x per year maintenance calls and charges an annual fee for this service?)
3) Length of Maintenance Contract Term (are you talking 10 years? 7 years? 5 years? Annual Renewals?)
4) Exactly how the Virtual Print Fees (VPFs) flow? (from what I have read on the Cinedigm website, it seems as if the studios/distribs cut the VPF checks directly to Cinedigm for each movie that is put onto a digital screen?)

If folks don't feel comfortable sharing this kind of specific cost info publicly, please send me a private message and I'd be happy to talk via phone or personal email.
Thanks in advance for any help provided!
