Mexico City (PRWEB) July 05, 2013 -- Thanks to the digitalization process that Cinepolis successfully concluded a few weeks ago to 100% of their theatres, making it the first exhibitor in the Latin American industry to have all of their screens with this technology, the movie Despicable Me 2, distributed by Universal Pictures, is the first one delivered via satellite to 281 Cinepolis theatres in Mexico.

It took us only a few hours to deliver the movie as opposed to three to four days that it regularly takes to replicate and deliver hard drives to all of those cinemas

"Universal is thrilled that Despicable Me 2 is now the first movie ever to be delivered via satellite in Mexico", said Mauricio Duran, Universal Pictures International's Senior Vice President Marketing and Distribution, Latin America. "Supporting Contenido Alternativo in its digital transition emphasizes our commitment to further new technologies in the industry and we look forward to continuing this relationship with future releases."

Gabriel Morales Becker, Cinepolis Sub Director of Administration and Digital Strategy declared: "Digitalization in the exhibition industry is a worldwide transformation.
