New sound tech for movies will launch in several theaters, and the AMC at DTD will be one of the ones to launch/use this tech. According to comments on the article it will be premiering with Brave.

It may not qualify as something "bold" but it certainly will be new. Bit by bit the plan is revealed.

That sounds really neat. We've never gone to a movie while at WDW, but maybe if there's a bad weather day during a future trip, we can catch a movie there and head over to Splitsville after.

At this rate, we'll have the bold, new vision in a decade or more.

Well, this is going to get me to go see Brave. Yeah, I'm more excited about the new sound technology debuting with the movie than I am the movie on the screen.

Sounds neat. I wonder if this will go in the "enhanced" theaters the AMC already has (which already have incredible sound systems)

I don't have details, but I'm guessing it will go into the quasi-Imax theater they have.

I like this. I saw the article about this new tech on engagdet and was disappointed with how west coast dominate the list of locations were.

Got one close to home, but with people in the audience making all kinds of noises..... talking, stuffing faces with popcorn it maybe hard to appreciate the sound system.

The reason for the west coast dominating the initial installs is because that is where Dolby is so their engineers can be available for launch issues. The only reason that DTD has it is that they set up a demo there for the Theatre Owners convention that was in Orlando a few months ago. If it is well recieved I'm sure that the premium auditoriums at complexes across the country will start getting installs before the next major release that is mixed for it.

Because anyone outside of AMC and DolbyLabs had anything to do with this
