Can u imagine if they had blu ray cinema's WOW :P

You do realize that the effective equivilent digital resolution of a 35mm film negative is ~12M pixels @ 4092x2728? Or that 70mm IMAX film is >50M pixels @ 10000x7000?

Reel-to-reel projectors have had a higher "resolution" picture than Blu Ray since the 1950s.

Now digital surround sound, film wear, and mechanical failure is another issue entirely ...

Digital cinema does infact exist. The image is projected in the correct 2k or 4k resolutions in a motion jpeg video format. I saw wall-e at a digital cinema and it was like watching a film without any imperfections at all. It was a very nice experience. However film projectors are cheaper and last longer so its going to take a very very long time for film to be phased out.
