As in title, i'm just wondering whether it is possible to rip movie from cinema if one has got unsupervised access to cinema's hardware. Maybe someone did that? I'm not talking about caming, i'm talking about making a digital copy of premiere material.

The movie at a cinema isn't a regular mp4 file, it's a massive 100-300gb proprietary file that needs a valid license key to even be played back during a specific time period. Good luck decrypting the file or getting the company that issues the keys to the cinemas to give you a key because you're not getting it to play early. Iirc somehow the Korean rip of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was leaked early and something similar happened with the My Little Pony movie, but those fan bases are incredibly autistic and will find a way.

so what you're saying is that we must infiltrate the drm company and plant a secret backdoor that can be used to bypass the activation key

probably easier to mess with the projector so it records a local file that is a copy of what is being projected, which would already been decrypted. With this if you can infiltrate the DRM company you only need the schematics of the projector, not an active malware to steal new keys.
