Auto-EX? Dolby Digital Surround EX and DTS-ES logos in the credits? Other indicators that the film has been mixed in Extended-Surround?  |  IP: Logged Hannes Helfenstein Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Hergiswil, Switzerland Registered: Sep 2004 posted 05-01-2007 08:33 AM                        Sorry, forgot one other question: SDDS-8 since this is Sony release and has been mixed by Greg P. Russell and Kevin O'Connell?  |  IP: Logged Hannes Helfenstein Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Hergiswil, Switzerland Registered: Sep 2004 posted 05-02-2007 10:00 AM                        SDDS-8 according to sdds.com. So I really doubt that this film is in SRD-EX and DTS-ES or can anybody else confirm Extended-Surround?  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 05-02-2007 11:29 AM                     We're being told the depot isn't releasing prints until 12:01 on Thursday morning. We've got a 10am screening on Thursday, so I'll be able to confirm if the film is EX at that time.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 05-03-2007 09:40 AM                     No EX, and standard DTS.  |  IP: Logged Jake Lafree Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Valparaiso, IN USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 05-03-2007 12:25 PM                        All reels very full, Reel 3 the fullest. Of all 4 prints (28 reels) I built, 2 reels were not labeled (head/tail), so be careful. Also Enclosed: Run Fat Boy Run Balls of Fury Rescue Dawn Shrek 3 Fantastic 4 2 Pirates 3 Gracie Harry Potter 5 Bourne Ultimatum Across the Universe Rush Hour 3  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 05-04-2007 01:31 AM                     We are running 6 prints. Of these, 1 entire print has 'water streaking' down the right side of the screen - visible mostly during the bright scenes. 1 reel of a 2nd print has 'water streaking' and a 3rd print has a section of blank film base nearly 3 feet long in the middle of the reel. I've checked with another local house that has 3 prints, and two of their prints have the 'water streaking' problem. Clearly these prints were run off too fast and not properly processed. I guess that is what you get for having upwards of 7000 prints.  |  IP: Logged Jake Lafree Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Valparaiso, IN USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 05-04-2007 03:29 AM                        Also, Spider-man 3 is widest release of all time--4,252 theatres. Beat out Shrek 2 by around 30 theatres.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-04-2007 05:17 AM                     I can confirm problems with prints. The print I built up ended up having massive discoloration for approx 10 secs at the end of one reel when another supervisor watched it. And we obviously didn't get a replacement in time for the midnight shows.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 05-04-2007 09:36 PM                     I have a feeling that their initial theater count was lower than what it is now. Also, they probably requested even more prints for theaters who have multiple screens. A theater on Oahu has 5 prints. I did note however that both of my prints were dated April 15. So I assume that if your copy has water streaking it may have been one of the more recent ones. They probably did rush to print additional reels.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-05-2007 04:00 AM                     All 3 of our prints had minor to major problems (one had a reel with MAJOR color issues at its tail, another had an emulsion scratch & other stuff that seemed to indicate it had been viewed already but was new, and another had slight color streaking). Another nearby theater in my chain had 6 prints, each of which had some problem.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
