I am giving away a small box of THX Swag to the person who comes closest to guessing how many Digital Cinema screens will be playing Episode 2.The rules: All posts must be in before May 1st, 2002. The contest is limited to Fim-Techers only. Only one "guess" post per person. No one from THX, Dolby, Boeing, Technicolor, QuVis, Avica, EVS, Grass Valley, Barco, or Christie may play. If there is a tie, and two people guess the same correct number of screens, the person with the most posts to the Film-Tech forum (life-time) wins. Good luck, and may the force be with you.

"I am giving away a small box of THX Swag to the person who comes closest to guessing how many Digital Cinema screens will be playing Episode 2."Hmmm, since equipment "plays" and screens only reflect or "show," I'll guess zero. You may contact me for instructions on where to send the swag  Some definitions of "play."
To cause (a compact disk or audiocassette, for example) to emit recorded sounds.
To exhaust (a hooked fish) by allowing it to pull on the line. (Yeah, my mom was a teacher.)
Are you dropping a line and playing the film-techer pool, Ted?

Worldwide, or just North America?Digital Cinema screen count as of May 16 opening? And how many screens with FILM prints?  Ted: can you confirm that the printing duplicate negatives for all the film release prints are being made directly from the Digital Source Master (DSM) files? Or is the film recording done from the Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) files, or onto the master positive stage to save time and reduce costs? ------------------
