This past Friday night, when I saw "Rollerball" at Regal Hollywood 18 here in Huntsville, AL, in auditorium 2, everything seemed in frame, with everything centered properly, but I noticed that the Regal policy trailer had 6 inches to a foot of black all around it on the left, bottom, and right sides on the screen. It's as if the trailer were printed with a rather large "black margin" around it in the scope version. I've never noticed this on any other earlier versions of the "roller coaster" trailer before. Since no black area (or anything inappropriate) could be seen at the edges of any other image projected during the previews or movie, the problem seems to be with the policy trailer. Has anyone else here who works at a Regal theatre noticed this on your new Coke policy trailers?

I don't think so. If that were the case, there would have been much more black on the left and right sides (at least 3 or 4 feet on each side). We're talking 6 inches to a foot on each side (and on the bottom) on a 39.5 foot screen. It's as if it just didn't get enlarged quite enough when printed. The other possibility is that the aperture was too large, but I doubt that since everything else looked fine, with no "image edges" visible anywhere. ------------------ Evans A Criswell Huntsville-Decatur Movie Theatre Information Site
