Indeed. The DCI spec uses Motion JPEG2000 intra-frame compression of 12-bit 4:4:4 video (3d spec uses 4:2:2). File size can run anywhere from 200-500GB, depending on length, compression, audio used, etc.

Given that no one has propsed a home-theatre spec using 4:4:4 12-bit video... and most people don't have easy access to dual-link HD-SDI connections anyway... I wouldn't bet on being able to use D-Cinema presentations anywhere but the cinema any time soon.
