In a move that could jumpstart the digital cinema transition in Europe, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney Studios have signed virtual print fee-style agreements that could result in the rollout of 8,000 new digital cinema installations in 22 countries.

There are now fewer than 1,000 digital cinema screens installed on the continent.

The agreements have been reached with XDC, a Belgium-based digital cinema service
company that is preparing a digital cinema deployment plan.

XDC is expected to reach similar European agreements with Universal and Sony in the near future.
