Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-21-2004 10:34 PM                    Scott, they were there already... I was trying to figure out if I could get rid of them!  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 11-21-2004 11:54 PM                     I've always been confused by this as well...Mr. 3000 was tagged as a BVD movie on our bookings (I know it's touchstone), but when they came to check and there were no ads in front of the movie....we got yelled at....they said it's only DISNEY movies....I thought BVD was short for Buena Vista DISNEY. Now Disney's Animation dept is gone, what constitutes a "DISNEY" movie?  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-22-2004 12:47 AM                     All 'Disney' films, be they Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, whatever, are distributed by 'Beauna Vista.' Yes, this is overly complicated. Unfortunately that's just the way it is.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 11-22-2004 08:17 AM                    BVD = Buena Vista Distributions. The movie is Walt Disney there is a logo at the beginning and end of the movie. Cinemark Policy is there are no Technicolor ads to be placed on Disney banner films. However, Coke avertisements and any company related materials go on the films.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-22-2004 08:46 AM                        If it isn't tagged as being from Walt Disney Pictures, it's not a Dinsey product. Simple.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-22-2004 08:56 AM                     I saw National Treasure at an AMC and the only thing part of the "NCN Preshow Countdown" was AMC's Movietickets.Com commercial. Nothing else... I was also wondering something about AMC's cell phone commercial with the buffalo stampeeding. At the end of the tag, it says "Best Buy/Cingular/Nokia" or whatever. To me, this would count as an ad... =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Dennis Udovich Film Handler Posts: 71 From: Sheboygan, WI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 11-22-2004 11:46 PM                        From the trailers I thought "Treasure" was Touchstone. Seeing the movie, it's Disney. Marcus policy is NO pre-show rolling stock ads on ANY Disney film. If it is just BV, then is okay BUT 15 seconds of black film must be run between the pre-show and the trailers which are run prior to the schedule start time. This separates our pre-show ads and movie with trailers.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-26-2004 03:23 AM                        from imdb: quote: Trivia: Before the movie got its rating, it was under the Touchstone Pictures banner (which is part of Disney). When the film got its rating (which is PG), it was then put under the Walt Disney Pictures banner, as it is clear that it is a more family-friendly movie. carl  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 11-26-2004 10:23 PM                     At a local Regal Megaplex, Regal's 20wenty was shown with tons of commercials before National Treasure. The Walt Disney Kingdom logo appeared at the beginning of the movie.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-26-2004 10:40 PM                        quote: Wolff King Morrow thus override BV by putting coke ads on their movies. NOTHING overrides an edict from the Mouse House....unless you want to get slapped so hard with that wad of lawsuit papers that you'll never be able to focus a picture again.  |  IP: Logged
