Author Topic: Trouble getting posters Dave Ganoe Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Point Marion, PA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-08-2000 05:58 AM                     Is anyone else having trouble getting posters? We have been trying to order posters for upcoming movies and are getting told that there is currently nothing in stock. This is from NSS or California. Any suggestions on where we could call to get some new stuff? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 09-08-2000 12:54 PM                     WHat are you trying to order posters for? If it is to far in the future, they may not have them yet. The only thing I have trouble getting are trailers, which are always on backorder.  |  IP: Logged Dave Ganoe Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Point Marion, PA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-08-2000 02:00 PM                     We cant get anything either for future releases or current stuff. Never had a problem in the past just all of a sudden.  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 09-09-2000 02:42 AM                     What company do you work for?  |  IP: Logged Wade Brashers Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Doylestown, PA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 09-09-2000 01:43 PM                     Check your local AMC manager on Ebay, they allways have the newest posters and trailers for sale... : )  |  IP: Logged Ky Boyd Hey I'm #23 Posts: 314 From: Santa Rosa, CA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-09-2000 05:51 PM                       Trailers and Ad slicks seem to be the hardest to get, but it seems that anything that comes from National Screen is difficult these days. To be fair, the problem seems to be that stuff is getting to the fulfillment houses (NSS, TES, Consolidated, TDS) late - like just prior to the release. I have found that if you are having problems, it can be beneficial to call the exhibitor relations department at the distrib and nicely discuss the difficulties you are having with them. This is an instance where honey diffinetly works better than vinegar.  |  IP: Logged Doug Fields Film Handler Posts: 15 From: Parsippany, New Jersey, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-11-2000 08:12 AM                     I know that Technicolor has purchased National Screen Service as of a few months ago. I have periodic problems, and on the chance that I have to get one that nobody has, www.allposters.com, or www.hollywood.com usually has what I am looking for. ------------------ Doug Fields Union Manager/Operator/Projectionist Madison Cinema 4 Madison, New Jersey  |  IP: Logged Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 09-12-2000 02:17 AM                     Lately, when calling Technicolr and NSS orfdering posters, they ask me if I would like to have them shiped to the theatre address... Makes me wonder if they would ship them where ever I wanted...  |  IP: Logged Dave Ganoe Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Point Marion, PA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-12-2000 06:00 AM                     Technicolor and NSS are the ones saying that they currently have nothing available no matter what is asked for and neither can give any explination other than they just don't have it. They give the same line to our booker.  |  IP: Logged
