I'm not so sure about that - AFAIK (based on info in the monthly 
mailings) they've done a few demo/test screeenings with great
success, but nothing regular. I doubt more than a fraction of
their screenings are/will be digital since most films are not
new releases, but older classics which are unlikely to ever be 
digitised.
