Why are movies still shown on reels and not on some kind of High def. projector?

You think they'd shoot all movies in high def to show in theatres.

The movie producers want their movies on the most screens possible and most movie theater screens currently do no have digital cinema projection equipment. Movie theater owners are reluctant to convert to the digital cinema projection systems on their own due to the cost. Apparently the movie studios are now working with the movie theater owners to help defray some of the costs. See this article:
