Some Japanese theaters ran into technical issues during the opening weekend of James Cameron’s new movie Avatar: The Water Path. About informs Bloomberg.
Viewers who came to watch the movie complained about the sudden cancellation of screenings in almost all of Japan on social networks. It is said that the high-tech and new high-frame rate 3D format of the film is to blame, which requires rapid processing of large amounts of graphics, which Japanese cinemas are not ready for.
This theory is supported by the fact that one of the cinemas in the city of Nagoya bypassed the technical limitations of the equipment by playing the movie at 24 frames per second instead of the recommended 48 frames.
Representatives of Disney and Japanese cinema chains declined to comment to Bloomberg reporters.
