Atlanta (CNN) — You take an elevator to the top level of the Regal Atlantic Station 16 movie theater, round a corner, enter through a security-coded door and head down some steps.

There it is: a wide, nondescript corridor interspersed with HVAC equipment and, more important, several giant slabs of electronics and server stacks. The touchscreens near each slab tell the story: “The Hangover 3,” “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “Fast and Furious 6.”

This is the movie projection room, circa 2013.
