Author Topic: New idea Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-30-2000 01:21 AM                     Let's start posting the studio as well as the delivery method (Technicolor, ETS, etc.). This way on those smaller films, we will know who to call if the print doesn't show up. Note: Prints labeled "highway films" and such ARE from the ETS depot. Please verify the ETS tag somewhere on the label to avoid confusion, as the delivery methods are all named differently for ETS throughout the country.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-30-2000 09:45 PM                     Here's my list of what is shipped by whom (this applies to the US domestic prints only, international distributors will probably use a differing carrier) TECHNICOLOR ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES: Buena Vista (Disney/Touchstone/Hollywood) MGM (includes UA/MEG/Orion and all Polygram titles prior to the Seagram merger of Polygram) USA Films (formerly Gramercy and October Films) Universal Sony (Columbia/TriStar/Triumph) Miramax (includes Dimension) First Look Trimark Good Machine Lion's Gate ETS: 20th Century Fox Fine Line Fox Searchlight New Line Paramount Warner Brothers Thats all the ones I can remember at the moment Hope this assists anyone!

I mean not in the same way that Touchstone or Hollywood are, but does Disney control them somehow?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-30-2000 10:28 PM                     Technically yes they do, but in reality I don't think they have too much to do with them.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-30-2000 10:46 PM                     Then two other questions: 1) Can we put commercials/psa's on Miramax pictures? 2) Do Miramaz trailers go back to BV?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-30-2000 11:00 PM                     When it comes to commercials, I'd have to wholeheartedly say Miramax should be counted as Buena Vista. But then, perhaps that is just my deep hatred for turning movie theaters into big tvs.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 05-20-2000 01:13 PM                     Miramax has never told us wse could not put ads on their prints, and BVs demands did not include Miramax prints either... Ironically, we were busy putting the new coke ads on screen yesterday.. Of course the coke ad STARTS with the Universal logo...  |  IP: Logged
