I would really like you to be right and for there still be a reason for
distributors to release new films as prints just to cater to poor, hot
countries like India and that it would somehow be more affordable for
theaters in those countries to deal with the current distribution system

I'm quite skeptical about all these reports about the death of film we are
suddenly seeing. They seem to frequently turn out to have little substance to
them on further examination.
Aside from which, that last article seems to be more about the death of cinema
and the rise of video projection,
DCI requires that exhibitors moving to the DCI platform *must* remove 35mm
projection capabilities from their booth, that is
in order to be in compliance. It's commercial interests working to advance
in short time to the new platform.
Makes me think of what happened in the US with public rail tran

Programmers I know say that it is harder and harder to rent 35mm

It is not just about replicating the "look" of film, whatever that means on a
physical surface level. It is more about what "happens" when you view real
film--the nature of projected film demands a kind of physiological and
cognitive processing that is simply absent with digital projection. In
