Author Topic: Movies still being released on film Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 08-19-2015 12:41 AM                     A theater near me still runs 35mm in two of their five auditoriums. They say they are really having a hard time getting movies and it seems that some movies are now not even being released on film now. I know the end is probably near soon. So for now, I would like to start a thread to list which new movies are actually being released on 35mm film prints. The feature info and attachments threads don't always have this information. The theater nearby me is currently showing on film: Cinderella San Andreas Tomorrowland What other movies currently in release out there are available on 35mm film and what upcoming movies will be available on 35mm film? Please list them here. Thank you.  |  IP: Logged Fredrik Sandstrom Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Turku, Varsinais-Suomi, FINLAND Registered: Mar 2014 posted 08-19-2015 04:34 AM                     So far, the following 2015 releases have been reported here and on other forums as being available on 35mm: Avengers: Age of Ultron Blackhat Cinderella Fifty Shades of Grey Focus Furious Seven Hot Pursuit Inside Out Insurgent Jupiter Ascending Jurassic World Mad Max: Fury Road Minions Pitch Perfect 2 Pixels San Andreas Ted 2 Terminator Genisys The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water Tomorrowland  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 08-19-2015 09:13 AM                     I know of at least two theaters running "Straight Outta Compton" in 35mm.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-19-2015 11:43 AM                        It'd be interesting to know how many 35mm prints are being made of these titles. Anybody have a source for that info?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-19-2015 12:44 PM                     Apparently it's about 10 per title (US).  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 08-19-2015 12:45 PM                    A friend of mine stated that his theater is receiving copies of Trainwreck, Mr. Holmes, and Vacation in 35mm in the next few weeks and that Paramount didn't make any known copies of M:I Rogue Nation in that format.  |  IP: Logged Timothy Eiler Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Litchfield , Minnesota, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-19-2015 05:35 PM                        quote: Matt Russell A friend of mine stated that his theater is receiving copies of Trainwreck, Mr. Holmes, and Vacation in 35mm in the next few weeks and that Paramount didn't make any known copies of M:I Rogue Nation in that format. I been running 35mm print of M:I Rogue Nation since it opened nationwide  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 08-19-2015 10:21 PM                    That's good to know, maybe he just didn't get it in his area (Branson, Missouri). Any word on if Ant-Man got a 35mm? It'd be strange if it didn't, since all of Disney's other movies this summer got one.  |  IP: Logged Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 08-23-2015 05:27 PM                     There is also a 35mm print of IRRATIONAL MAN making the rounds.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 08-23-2015 06:24 PM                    If it's down to a dozen or fewer prints, who is getting them? Studios only care about money so who is out there that makes enough money that Hollywood takes notice but has not converted OR perhaps has but insists on getting a film print if any are made (and will be thoroughly pissed if told there are none but was lied to).  |  IP: Logged Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-27-2015 12:45 PM                    I think "McFarland USA" and "Run All Night" are a couple others that got prints.  |  IP: Logged Fredrik Sandstrom Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Turku, Varsinais-Suomi, FINLAND Registered: Mar 2014 posted 08-28-2015 06:06 AM                     Can anyone confirm Trainwreck, Mr Holmes, Vacation, McFarland USA and Run All Night? No offense to Matt and Shawn, but for my list I prefer stronger testimony than "A friend of mine stated", and "I think".  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 08-28-2015 11:43 AM                     I had 35mm back-up print of McFarland when I did a big press screening last year prior to its' release. So I can confirm there's at least one print!  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 08-28-2015 04:20 PM                    The friend I contacted about that hasn't responded since then, but I know for sure that AFI Silver has a 35mm projector and they're currently showing Mr. Holmes, so it's quite possible they got at least a back-up print to show in 35mm. As for Trainwreck, it was shot in 35mm so there has to be some prints out there somewhere. Vacation I have no idea about, there could very well be no 35mm prints, but knowing it's Warner behind it, they quite possibly could have made some prints. I'll update if I get anymore info on those three. Update: I know none of these were stated above, but I did get word from a member of Kodak's management team that there are prints of Entourage and Ant-Man getting around. As for Trainwreck and Vacation, they had no idea yet, but knowing they have partnerships with Universal and WB to make prints, it's very likely those two have/are getting prints.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-28-2015 06:47 PM                        quote: Matt Russell ...it was shot in 35mm so there has to be some prints out there somewhere. Not necessarily. Shooting on film, scanning the camera negative rolls and then doing the rest of the post and the distribution all digitally is not uncommon.  |  IP: Logged
