Behold: DCP. DCP is the end format used for theatrical projection. It creates large files. These large files take a long time to upload or download, particularly if you're somewhere rural. It's more common for theatrical releases to be delivered on SSDs via USPS than it is for movies to be downloaded to cinemas. Using the USPS has the added advantage of any interception being a federal offense, thereby giving still more teeth to piracy claims.
