Author Topic: Movies still being released on film Steve Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 109 From: Paoli, IN, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 02-26-2016 03:28 PM                        I have a new release 35mm coming out in March. I am not able to give you any details as I was sworn to secrecy! Sorry, but there is some 35 still coming out.  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 03-03-2016 09:56 PM                     Our favorite holdout, Pacific 5 Sherman Oaks, opens Mad Max Fury Road tomorrow on 3/4/2016 (will anyone go see it at this point?), and, more notably, "How to Be Single," since it has the distinction of being the first 2016 release to show up around here on 35mm. But even it's been out for 3 weeks already. Why does Pacific keep that place open, I wonder, with Arclight Sherman Oaks right around the corner preventing it from getting new releases, yet the prices aren't exactly second-run.  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 03-04-2016 12:38 PM                     ^^ I for one am happy it's still open.... I bet they have a lot a regular customers who love the place.  |  IP: Logged Justin West Master Film Handler Posts: 271 From: Peoria, IL, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 03-04-2016 02:05 PM                     Whoa, Steve, you're really going out on a limb, here...don't risk spilling any beans about a movie being released on 35mm in March, nope that would jeopardize all that work you've put in to keep 35mm on screen! Breaking news: there are 12 wide releases in March, probably topped by "Batman V. Superman" which will be released by WB...a studio that still released some 35 in 2015. I'm no rocket scientist, but...  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 03-15-2016 06:00 PM                    Hail, Caesar! apparently got a limited 35mm engagement.  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 03-23-2016 01:34 AM                     GCC Pacific Sherman Oaks gets Batman vs Superman in 35mm. What other theaters around the country are getting 35mm prints?  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 03-23-2016 01:42 PM                     I just caught that, too, Eric. Very cool, not just because it's 35mm, but because Pacific might not actually want to run this place into the ground. This is the first first-day-of-release print they've had since we've been watching them all this time. Also, there are extended hours shows on all screens for the holiday weekend. Haven't seen that either. The Vista theater that ran Force Awakens in 35mm will have this title opening in digital on Thursday night. As far as B vs S being an on-film title, we should also note here (so people can search for the other relevant threads) that this film is also on 5/70 and 15/70 film. Although good luck finding one of those screens near you!  |  IP: Logged Rick Cohen Expert Film Handler Posts: 102 From: Amherst, New York Registered: Feb 2011 posted 03-25-2016 01:57 AM                        Four drive-ins which have not made the conversion to digital are opening Batman V Superman in 35mm. Locations are: Motor Vu Drive-In in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Stone Drive-In in Mountain View, Arkansas, Route 34 Drive-In in Earlville, Illinois. Holiday Drive-In in Mitchell, Indiana, has also received a 35mm print, even though they just recently converted to digital this past week. There are roughly 30 drive-ins left which are still using 35mm, most of which are still closed for the season. Almost 90% of all drive-ins have already been converted to digital. It is still unclear if there will be enough 35mm available this year for those 30 drive-ins to remain viable. Some of these might have stay closed permanently if there is not enough 35mm available to sustain them.  |  IP: Logged Max Hayman Film Handler Posts: 16 From: London, England Registered: Jan 2015 posted 04-05-2016 07:38 AM                     Picturehouse Central in London, UK have Batman vs Superman in 35mm  |  IP: Logged Shawn M.

I know FotoKem is the only one for North America now but surely they aren't sending stuff internationally?  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-08-2016 01:11 PM                        If Brian Pritchard's listing of UK labs is complete and accurate, Cinelab is the only UK lab that offers a commercial, color release printing service. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if the B v. S print that City Screen are showing is an imported one. This happened very frequently when I worked in UK cinemas, especially with mass multiplex titles, for which many hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of prints were made for the US market. The telltale sign that you had a US import would be that the print arrived on 4" cores rather than the more common (in Europe) 3" ones. The plastic sides that clipped into these cores to form the US shipping reel that went in a Goldberg case were removed, and then the reel, still on the 4" core, would be put in a plastic "can" and into the hideous green Rank "kneecapper" cases, or, if you were lucky, cardboard cartons, that were (and maybe still are) used to move prints around Britain. If the British Board of Film Classification certificate card was spliced onto the front of reel 1 (i.e. the footage was not continuous), that was another indication. Occasionally the British distributor would reprint individual reels locally, if needed. For example, all the reel 2s of The Mummy were British prints, because a violent scene was re-edited so that the show could have a 12-certificate, but the others were all imported. So the reel 2s looked great, but the others looked slightly softer and less contrasty from having been ultrasonically cleaned and rewashed after their US booking. Those reels stank of perchloroethane when I opened the cans, too, because the rewashing hadn't been done very well, if at all.  |  IP: Logged Sascha F.

I should have known you would be the one with the answer to that question.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 04-09-2016 11:41 AM                        quote: Shawn M. Martin Kodak has posted a map of theaters showing BvS in 35mm and 5/70mm. So I count 20 theatres that ran BVS on 35mm. Is US film distribution really down to numbers like that?  |  IP: Logged
