Author Topic: Ncm Justin Bacon Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Orlando FL USA Registered: Oct 2018 posted 10-17-2018 04:32 PM                     Anyone know how much it is to run Cinema sounds in a single screen theater? This theater is for special events only.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 10-17-2018 05:20 PM                        You need to define what you mean by "cinema sounds". If your intent is to purchase the equipment to play movies in a single-screen theatre then you'll require a projector and the other things that are associated with that as well (cinema server, etc). As for the sound reproduction equipment itself, i.e. amplifiers and speakers, the cost will depend on what you get and what you get will depend on the size of the room that you're putting it into and what kind of sound you want there: 5.1, 7.1, Atmos, or maybe something else altogether? And a cinema sound processor (for "cinema sounds") and again that will depend on what kind of sound you're putting in.  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 10-17-2018 05:40 PM                        I think the original poster is writing about https://www.facebook.com/cinemasoundsdotcom/ , which is a preshow program. Their web site (apparently just a Facebook page, so not much is available to the public) tells very little about the service (like no contact info in case I want to send them money).

They had a link to click for Noovie, which is likely what they want to push, front and center. The theater I work for plays this content and I cannot recall hearing Cinema Sounds when I have gone into the auditoriums before the Noovie starts or immediately after a movie ends. Either I am blocking it out or it may not even be there.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-24-2018 05:53 PM                     NCM (Nat'l CineMedia) is a service that REGAL, AMC and some of the other big box circuits used currently. DMI CinemaSounds is in partnership with NCM.  |  IP: Logged Justin Bacon Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Orlando FL USA Registered: Oct 2018 posted 12-19-2018 12:24 AM                     Yes AMC theaters did stop playing Cinema sounds in the auditoriums why I have no idea  |  IP: Logged
