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.

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.

Right but 517 GB is ~0.05% of a petabyte. Nobody is saying 517 GB is small, but it’s a far cry from petabyte(s) of storage

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.

A Petabyte would be a thousand movies. No cinema has a thousand movies on its program.

Depends strongly on the cinema, many have the movies around for relatively long and as said, the size varies heavily.
