Mhm, as a former projectionist I can confirm that those files average 200~300gb.
Why would they sell them? Cinemaphiles. Your average person won't spend $200 on a 500gb drive containing The Room, but a hardcore cinemaphile might. My boss at the theater I was working at was the kinda person who would have bought that. Well, maybe not The Room, but he probably would have spent the money for something like The Godfather trilogy.
