The Real D folks issued a press release earlier this week identifying the 3D locations for "Monster House." Attempting to correct their misspellings, geographical blunders and missing engagements and supplementing the list with the 2D D-Cinema locations, my research as of the time of posting yields the following.

BTW, lots of new D-Cinema installations for this release.

Thanks for this, Mike. I've been looking for it.

More installs in more places...some of the smaller towns getting 3-D. But, still, only 1 in most metro areas, outside of the biggest cities. Ohio added Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo, with a second unit in Cincinnati.

Just looking over the list quickly, I see a number of National Amusements and Rave locations, with only a few AMC and Regal units, and no Marcus locations.

Real D news

LOS ANGELES and PLANO, TEXAS, July 17, 2006 – REAL D, the leader in the delivery of premium digital 3-D experiences, and Cinemark USA, Inc., a major theatrical exhibitor, today announced a landmark deal to equip up to 150 Cinemark Theatres with REAL D Cinema systems for the exhibition of digital 3-D content.

Once completed, this deal will enable Cinemark to offer its customers more REAL D Cinema screens than any other exhibitor, clearly positioning Cinemark as the undisputed leader in digital 3 D cinema. This announcement underscores exhibitors’ commitment to REAL D as the trusted digital 3-D format. This deployment brings the total number of committed REAL D Cinema screens to more than 350 worldwide and gives REAL D Cinema the world’s largest 3-D cinematic footprint.

“REAL D has rapidly emerged as the quality platform for the delivery of digital 3 D entertainment to cinemas,” said Alan Stock, President and Chief Operating Officer, Cinemark USA, Inc. “Cutting-edge technologies like REAL D’s are dramatically altering the cinematic landscape, and Cinemark is excited to work with REAL D to deliver compelling, new experiences to our audiences.”

“Cinemark, one of the largest and most progressive exhibitors, realizes the importance of bringing REAL D Cinema to audiences on a massive scale,” said Michael V. Lewis, Chairman, REAL D. “Upon completion of this deployment, at least one screen in every Cinemark market could be REAL D Cinema enabled, giving Cinemark a clear competitive edge in cinematic entertainment.”

The rollout will commence immediately, with 17 screens being installed in time for the REAL D Cinema presentation of Columbia Pictures’ MONSTER HOUSE, which opens domestically July 21.

Also note that Roger Ebert, in his early review on his television show, erroneously claimed Monster House would be released in IMAX 3-D.

AFAIK, some of the installations will use the Kodak Digital Cinema system for 3D projection of "Monster House". For sure the ones at Cinemark Tinseltown 16 in Gates NY.

I have just recently been transferred to Denver, Colorado area and I will be getting Monster House 3D at the Colorado Mills 16. I will probably screen it tonight, however, how good is the Real D presentation? I have heard good things about, but from the layman. What's the word from the crowd that actually gives a damn?

Personally, I think it's the best 3D I've ever seen. This is for two reasons. There are no inconsistencies between the two eyes since it's a single-projector system, and the circular polarization really cuts down on the ghosting, making it virtually non-existent.

The best 3D I saw was at ShoWest last year presented by Lucas and some others. They were using some sort of shuttered LCD glasses. It was simply stunning. By far the best presentation I have ever seen. They were using a single lens digital projector as well with am infrared transmitter to sync the glasses to the alternating frames on the screen.

Sounds a lot like the original, and more expensive, IMAX 3D process. That used LCD shuttered glasses synched with infrared control lasers in the auditorium. It's rare to find IMAX theaters which have the more expensive LCD glasses and PSE near field speakers built into them.

Just felt the need to point out that fact in case someone tried to float the claim "video/digital" was the first to do that sort of thing.

I'm not sure what to think of the "Real D" process anymore. The only consistent aspect of it is that it is a digital/video projection based process. There are theaters advertising the "Real D" brand mark while running a variety of digital projection systems. Some theaters are running the Dolby Digital Cinema setup. A few others are running Kodak's rig. Some have systems put together on their own. Circuits like Carmike and Rave have a rapidly growing base of Christie/AccessIT systems.

It appears to me the only thing requiring the "Real D" mark is installation of a silver screen and polarizer lens setup. Am I wrong?

Aside from the requirements you mentioned, the only other piece of equipment that I can think of which is needed to run Real D is a player that is capable of handling the high frame rate needed to display the image for both eyes. I'm sure others here know better than me, but I think part of the appeal of Real D is the ability to convert a pre-existing DLP setup relatively painlessly.

First of all, I don't know why LCD shutter glasses would be considered expensive. This type of 3D existed in home videogames long before IMAX had them. IMAX copied from home videogame technology! Lazy asses.

Secondly, what kind of lame-ass name is "Real D"? This is perhaps one of the stupidest names I have ever heard in my life. It stirs my bowels and makes my ass erupt like a mud-clogged downspout being blown out. I hope whoever thought of this name, whoever approved it, and whoever likes it all get mad cow disease.

No. But it's not really a polarizer lens. It's a polarizing filter called Cinema Zscreen which is controlled by a control module which is synched with the projector via the GPIO connection. Obviously, setting it up also requires aligning colors and brightness and some other settings for the projector, but that's about it.

Greetings all, first post here. Just finished installing a Kodak DCS at the Arlington in Santa Barbara. Kodak and Barco's people were very efficient.Tested it this morning and the 3-D is very impressive, with lots of depth to the image.
One tip: if you think the 3-D effect is mediocre, flip the polarity switch on the Real-D unit, makes a huge difference.
We're running 'Pirates' on the MDI silver screen to see if we can keep it after the 3-D leaves. Looks fine and we'll probably use it for everything.
Only problem is we had to saw the doorjamb off to get the projector base into the booth. Old Fox theater with 28" doorway. Other threads have commented on electrical upgrades for digital,we did have to pull new wire for the service, but luckily could use the same conduit.
