Author Topic: "Screen information request" from Deluxe Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 01-13-2019 04:20 PM                        I just got an email asking for the aspect ratio (flat or scope) and masking type for "each specific screen in your complex". This is apparently being done for "one of the major studios" so they can decide how to release some unspecified thing in the future.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-13-2019 05:25 PM                        I got the same. On the screen ratio, I assume I should go by the largest open size.  |  IP: Logged David J Hilsgen Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: SAUK RAPIDS,MN .

Speculation is this could result in bookings requiring specific screens in your venue.  |  IP: Logged
