Actually, given what's been going on in recent years, those conditions don't sound too different from what I expected. It's sad that they have to write things into contracts like "make sure no one's making bootlegs copies of our film" or "make sure everyone has a ticket to get in". These are things we should be doing any way just as a matter of normal policy.
Gotta play their trailers? Eh, we'll see. I get weekly faxes from Fox threatening to murder my children if I don't play their stupid trailers. I don't really sweat over trailer requests. It's easy enough to slap whatever they want on there.
Eight week engagments? No moving prints without their approval? Yeah, that sucks but Fox was willing to give in after four weeks with us on both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. Hopefully, WB will be as understanding once Matrix Reloaded tapers off in June. Or, maybe they won't. In the end, we're all at the mercy of the distributors anyway.
I think the "blind checkers" statement by Thomas was a joke. Of course, most of the checkers I've dealt with in the past couldn't count anyway...
Yeah, this is definitely Ground Level stuff.
