Author Topic: Technicolor prints arriving a day early? Jarryd Beard Expert Film Handler Posts: 229 From: Hellertown, PA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 11-03-2005 08:46 PM                     We didn't get ours delivered early either. We did get a "North Country" poster, though. (Two weeks after we opened the movie.)  |  IP: Logged Olivia Coleman Film Handler Posts: 53 From: Bend, OR USA Registered: Jun 2005 posted 11-04-2005 08:24 AM                        We had received one of the three prints of Chicken Little on Wednesday but unfortunately I was unable to get to it as our float manager was ill and I was training a fairly new manager upstairs... (We just barely went to a 16 screen a week ago...) Anywho, I was please that they were only 4 reels as it didn't take me long at all. quote: Thomas Dieter Last week WB decided to enforce a policy that has never been enforced, and our print of Dukes showed up 35mins before show time. I find this very interesting, I'm across the country, and for some strange reason when we were opening the same movie, one can was not delivered til 8am on Friday-opening day. Luckily it was the last 3 reels so I was able to build all the trailer and the first 1/2 of the movie. Quickly built the rest in about 30-40 mins got it spun on to the platter and screened it before first show!  |  IP: Logged Amanda Jones Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Indianapolis, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2005 posted 11-04-2005 12:52 PM                     Ours didn't come on Wednesday but came in early on Thursday (I think the opening manager said they came about noon they usually come about 6pm) I came in to build because we are one manager down till Saturday. I'm mad because it took me over 5 hours to build 4 prints (and 2 of them were only 4 reels long) Why? The floor manager couldn't be bothered to do the interviews I had scheduled so every 30 minutes I was called downstairs for an interview. I wonder what she would have done if I didn't volunteer to come in.  |  IP: Logged
