The Wolfman opened Friday, 12 Feb 2010.

Studios have indicated that they are interested in getting to the point of one digital master. The technology and the standards are maturing now to make that a possibility.

The next step is adding descriptive narrative, which studios have said will be coming as the equipment becomes available.
