This is generally a DCP (Digital Cinema Package) containing JPEG 2000
files, 5.1 soundtrack files and subtitle files organized into folders
along with data files in XML format. It generally resembles the file
structure of a DVD, but can be encoded in 2K or 4K. The cinemas use
Adobe or Doremi severs, and they have to ingest the files into their
server before screening. This can take up to the real time of the
film.
Information about the file structure and the software used to create
it can be found on the wiki page
