we're all movie stars in disneyland

Film There is a horrifying paragraph in this Wired article about the switch from celluloid to digital projection in North America:
"Advocates of the shift to digital exhibition say theater owners also would benefit from new flexibility: If a movie sells out in one theater, an owner can quickly switch other screens to that feature to accommodate the unexpected demand. And if a supposed blockbuster turns out to be a bomb, it can be yanked from screens just as instantly -- no new prints from the studio, no reel swaps."
Anyone care to list the film makers who would never have had a career if this had been in effect years ago?
