As far as I know the DRM on DCPs (Digital Cinema Package) isn't broken. Yet. Maybe because relatively few people have access to the encrypted content. I guess the most important thing for the movie industry is to have the cinema window free from pirated copies.

Where/how is this used? I ask because screeners are definitely a thing.

Most digital cinema releases are AES 128 bit encrypted. For specifics refer to the DCI specification [1].

Screeners are from DVD/Bluray copies sent to academy members and such? If I'm not mistaken?

DCP is the format in which movies are distributed to theaters, usually on hard drives but sometimes over satellite or wired networks.
