The standards for revenue screenings are not the same advance screenings. Advance screenings, trade screenings, sneak previews, etc. are all expected to be at the last minute. That's why they pay us the big bucks .
The problems with an 8am day-of delivery are:
- It may be impractical to pre-screen the print if all houses are in use during the day on Thursday.
- If the normal workflow is to build the night before the show, then someone has to spend extra time.
- With less than 24-hours between inspection and screening, there may not be time to get replacement reels before the revenue show.
Of course, it's easy to say "suck it up." But since recently codes have been available more than 24hrs in advance, this does look like a step backwards. That said, if I had early shows on Thursday evening, I'd call DFS today and ask for the code. Worst is they say No. --jhawk
