The digital soundtracks in theaters have indeed been lossy versions. However, DTS actually has a system in some theaters that will deliver a losslessly-encoded bit-for-bit copy of the original soundtrack. This DTS system is only available in a very limited number of theaters (that famous theater in San Francisco is one of them).
The master that is used to create the lossy soundtracks you hear in theaters is usually a 24/48, 24/96, 20/48 or 20/96 PCM recording. So while you only get a lossy soundtrack in nearly every commercial theater, your home theater can actually present, via Blu-ray or HD DVD, a higher fidelity version than the "cram ten screens in a building the size of a gas station" local multi-plex.
