As in title, i'm just wondering whether it is possible to rip movie from cinema if one has got unsupervised access to cinema's hardware. Maybe someone did that? I'm not talking about caming, i'm talking about making a digital copy of premiere material.

No, the file size is in the terabytes (if not Petabytes) it has super heavy DRM (the cinemas have to pay upfront for a number of showings usually and when they are done the movie is locked) and the file type is a problem as well.

That wasn't a joke

Over 500 Gigabyte for one movie. The size obviously depends on the length but also on the amount of visual stuff and sound things they might add. Also quality requested. 3D also increases the size heavily.

Over 500 Gigabyte

Which is 0.0005 petabytes. Nowhere near a PB lmao

Wasn't talking about a single movie, thought the guy wanted to rip all the currently releasing movies.

A single movie is usually around the 500gb to 1000gb as said, depending on the specifications.
