It's almost comical showing the start of 'Up At The Villa' because of the huge number of tags at the start...let's see now, there's:1) United International Pictures (the local distributor)
2) Universal Pictures
3) October Films
4) Intermedia
5) Mirage ...before you get to the movie's first printed white-on-black credit. Now at the start of all this we have added: 1) A tag for 'Gold Class' cinemas;
2) a 'you are in a stadium seating' theatre
3) A company tag
4) A Dolby Digital 'Rain' tag So after the final trailer, that's nine(!) tags before the feauture starts...has anyone got this beat?

I just screened the 1997 Japanese anime feature "The End of Evangelion" (it's being considered for a limited/art theater release in the states next year). The tags:Kadokawa Shoten (the publisher)
TV Tokyo
Sega
Production IG (ING)
Movic
Star Child (King Records)
Toei Studios (the theatrical distributor)
Gainax Studios (the people who actually produced the thing)
A fully animated Japanese MPAA seal with spinning odometer production number Then the title card... So eight tags after any local stuff gets added. Sheesh!  BTW the credit crawl (which occurs in the middle of the film as a sort of intermission) looked great--imagine a continuously twisting DNA strand with each credit forming a "rung". Hypnotic...

I remember that the first Pokemon film had quite a few tags.It started with the WB Kids logo, a nintendo logo and a 4Kids entertainment logo. These ran twice through the film - once at the very start and then again at the start of the 2nd spool. Spool one was a short - 'Pikachu's adventure' or something like that. Add these six logos to our in house logo, two advertising company logos, five synergy ads and a digital logo, that makes around 15 logos attached to the film. Yes, I did watch the film - along with a few under fives who went nuts over it!!! Frank.

Bridget Jones's Diary sets the record for US releases AFAIK. The sequence:Rating card (white print on black screen)
Miramax animated logo
Universal animated logo w/theme
Studio Canal animated logo
Working Title Films animated logo That's 4 logos plus the rating card. Michael B, Scott: Up at the Villa had at least 3 logos for the US release (USA Films, Intermedia, Mirage).

"You are in a movie theatre...so keep quiet and turn off your damn cell phone!"
"... and please try not to nudge the seats in front of you with your feet! "  Speaking of silly things in advertising trailers: I'd never heard of a "You are in a stadium seating theatre" bit. That seems so silly. I remember in Carmike's old policy trailer (1997-1999 time period), early in the trailer, the words "Great Movies"
"Big Screens"
"Dynamic Sound" appeared on the screen for a few seconds. I always thought this was funny because many of the screens in theatres in my area that were actually built by Carmike are in auditoriums that are 30 or 32 feet in width and have flat image widths of 18 to 20 feet and scope images that are 26 to 29 feet. (Smallest screens around, but I don't mind since they at least have adjustable masking) Before the Carmike 10 was built in Huntsville, the Carmike 8 in Decatur had the worst sound of all theatres in most auditoriums. The Carmike 10 had all digital sound, but the trailer touting "dynamic sound" never played in digital, so it sounded very weak and low in volume compared to other trailers.

Evans likes theatres with:"Great Movies"
"Big Screens"
"Dynamic Sound" It's great when theatres promote "Film Done Right" and let audiences know where they can see and hear superior presentation. But if a theatre is lacking in quality, remember Abraham Lincoln's words: "YOU CAN FOOL SOME PEOPLE ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME." If you know your presentation is lacking, FIX it, don't hype it. ------------------
