A system for a digital multiplex theater having a plurality of auditoriums includes a central server (110), playout servers (140), and an intelligent selection module (110A). The central server (110) has a local storage device configured to store digital cinema movies. The playout servers (140) are each configured to playout the movies at a respective auditorium and have a respective local storage device configured to redundantly store the movies.The intelligent selection module (110A) selects a source for playing out, in an alternate auditorium in place of a scheduled auditorium, from a respective playout server in place of a scheduled playout server, a portion of a movie interrupted by a malfunction occurring at the scheduled auditorium. The selection is made from among any of the storage devices, and is based upon at least a current playing out ability of the scheduled playout server, and a playout schedule of the storage device at the alternate auditorium.
