Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-23-2007 09:31 PM                     Of all the Carmike listings in bold, two locations came on line after May 4 (the release date of Spiderman III): Winter Park, FL - Carmike University 8 Calhoun, GA - Carmike Martin 3 That brings Carmike's number of DLP installs since January of this year to 652 and its total of DLP equipped houses to 1905.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 05-24-2007 07:48 AM                     I would say that Carmike has made good it's promise of 2300 digital installs. Even if they stop now, they have installed about 82% of what they stated they would do. That's more than many others who had claimed to go all digital. From my understanding, the 'buzz' at the last showwest was digital is still 10 years away, but that doesn't seem to be true. I haven't been following exact numbers, but if the numbers posted in other topics are true, that means there are about 3300 digital installs, with about 36000 screens nationwide (in USA.) So axp. 9% of the US is digital.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-26-2007 07:24 PM                        Yes, even with about 10% of US screens equipped for digital cinema, Kodak's print film sales are still doing very well this year. Digital penetration outside the USA is usually less.  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

An example: Last night I had to check the keys for Surfs Up, which is splitting with Fantastic 4. I knew that the keys expired today, but I swear on my life that a new one had been ingested (either by another employee or AccessIT) and was good for the next few weeks. So I get a phone call today from my manager because the first showing of it went black because the key was no good. Now, I didn't get a yes or no from him, if he went up to check to see what the date of the keys said in the Doremi. Either way, he had to give refunds, and had to get a new key from AccessIT So, did I just have a blonde moment and looked at the Fantastic Four key, or do some correctly ingested and transfered keys just go 'bad', even when they are suppose to be good to go?  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

It will show you expired keys (old), pending (new but time has arrived yet) and a number indicating how many hours the key has left. I think you have to have at least version 0.5.1.x for this to be visible.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-06-2007 08:49 PM                     quote: Paul Konen Cinemark just opened it first 100% digital theatre on June 29th 2007.

When it opened it was a Henry Plitt version though... kinda so-so. I saw both Ghandi and Tron there in 70mm and Spacehinter in 3-D... er it was supposed to be 3-D. There goes the neighborhood .

The only way to check for keys is under the 'KDM by station' tab in the Content Manager. Allison, no offense but I think you had a blonde moment. Surf's up being Sony it would be Deluxe handling the keys. What might have screwed you up is that the Deluxe keys are always good from the opening date. That is, the first Technicolor key for 'Pirates' would have been valid May 23 through say June 14th (can't remember exactly). The next key would then be valid June 14 through June 21st, etc. With deluxe the second key would have been good May 23 to June 21 (one week after the original key expired). I've never heard of a multi-week holdover key, except in the case of a holiday (I know, July 4th was Wednesday, but none of our holdover keys were multi-week). I'm not playing Surf's Up so I can't tell you for sure. Honestly, they should be checking keys Wednesday night. All keys should be delivered by then-with the exception of AccessIT keys which seem to come in between close on Wednesday and opening on Thursday sometimes.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 07-07-2007 01:20 AM                        Dustin, Yeah, I'm leaning toward the blonde moment as well. The more I think about it, I remember the assitant manager tell me that one of the 3 movies that needed keys was a Deluxe. I thought it was Evan Allmighty, but I guess I was wrong. We got the key for Shrek via mail, and no Delux keys came thru the mail period. Whoops. Live and learn I guess. This is what happens when I only work one day a week and I'm not in the loop anymore.  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-07-2007 01:34 AM                     quote: Allison Parsons or do some correctly ingested and transfered keys just go 'bad', even when they are suppose to be good to go? It's not unheard of.... but unlikely. Your manager should have looked at the media status and checked the key dates when the problem arose. Sometimes it's hard to avoid the knee-jerk reaction of just rebooting, or calling someone else before looking into the problem. A number of issues could have caused the problem. Among these could be a failure verify the key transferred, or that due to some technical error, the key was bad. Perhaps the transfer didn't fully complete, or the key was corrupted during the transfer. Either way, it would have remained on the LMS and indicated whether or not the key was even delivered and ingested. quote: Dustin Mitchell Honestly, they should be checking keys Wednesday night. All keys should be delivered by then-with the exception of AccessIT keys which seem to come in between close on Wednesday and opening on Thursday sometimes. Who are you referring to when you say "They" I always stress to the staff that it is ultimately their responsibility to make sure the key is valid and correct. If film were being used, one would not assume that the print on the platter was the scheduled film without checking first. Perhaps a print move or breakdown wasn't performed the night before. If the wrong film was started because of this, it isn't the projectionist from the night before that is to blame. The responsibility would lie on the person running the films in the morning, as he or she should be checking to make sure that he/she is threading the correct print. Obviously, if the key was never delivered, there's not much the projectionist can do about it. It's interesting that Deluxe date's their keys in such a way, but on a movie like Surf's up where it has been out for a while, most operators would be looking that the expiration date.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-07-2007 07:11 PM                     By 'they' I mean management in general. Once a key is on the server I've never seen it go bad. All my keys are delivered by Wednesday night with the occasional exception of AccessIT keys which are in by Thursday morning. Key verification should not be a Thursday night/Friday morning chore.  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

Oh well, it's out there now for those who may use what I'm using.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-22-2007 12:20 AM                     Time for an update on the Christie/AIX digital projection installation project at Carmike locations. After a break during Summer, Christie and AccessIT crews have resumed a rapid pace of digital projection installations. Over the past several days crews passed the 2000 screen mark for d-cinema installations in the Carmike chain while working in states like Michigan, North Carolina, Missouri and North Dakota. A number of installations are currently in progress and several more sites will be completed before the end of September. Crews are getting into ever older, smaller locations with greater installation challenges. Some new DLP-equipped locations have the notice, "technical difficulties with this auditorium, please call for times," in their showtimes listing on the Carmike website. I noticed what appears to be a recent database bug in the Carmike website regarding number of digital screens listed. Near the top of each theater location web page its number of digital screens are listed. Theaters without any digital screens are supposed to list "0 digital screens available." Instead every location has all screens listed as being equipped for that number figure. When scrolling farther down for movies and showtimes it becomes clear something isn't right when no d-cinema icons are present. Carmike will have to fix that error at least for the nearly 100 screens that won't have digital projection installed. I'm wondering if any first run screens will be left out of the digital projection install program. It also seems somewhat likely that at least a couple or so 2nd run locations in cities like Raleigh and Birmingham may get digital projection -at least it does from the math breakdown between the number of Carmike's 1st run and 2nd run screens. Here's the rundown: 2028 Christie/AccessIT systems installed as of 9/21/07 Total of 2388 screens in theater chain 84.9% of screens in entire theater chain DLP equipped. 90.1% of first run screens DLP equipped. 138 second run screens, none DLP equipped to date. 3D = existing Real-D installation ** = Real-D install scheduled/announced Real-D to be installed on 500 Carmike screens ALABAMA - 126 DLP screens DLP equipped locations: Auburn - Wynnsong 16 - 16 DLP screens, 3D X 2 Birmingham - Summit 16 - 16 DLP screens, 3D Birmingham - Wynnsong 12 - 6 DLP screens Cullman - Carmike 10 - 10 DLP screens, 3D Decatur - Carmike 8 - 8 DLP screens, 3D Florence - Regency Sq 12 - 12 DLP screens , 3D Huntsville - Carmike 10 - 10 DLP screens, 3D Mobile - Carmike 14 - 14 DLP screens , 3D Mobile - Wynnsong 16 - 16 DLP screens, 3D Montgomery - Eastdale 8 - 8 DLP screens, 3D Montgomery - Wynnsong 10 - 10 DLP screens No DLP Yet: (23 screens remaining) Dothan - Circle West 4 Talladega - Martin Triple Birmingham - Carmike 10 (2nd run) Florence - Hickory Hills 6 (2nd run) ARKANSAS - 68 DLP screens DLP conversion complete in AR Batesville - Oaks 7 - 7 DLP screens Belle Vista - Sugar Creek 10 - 10 DLP screens Conway - Faulkner Cinema 6 - 6 DLP screens Fort Smith - Carmike 14 - 14 DLP screens, 3D Harrison - Harrison 8 - 8 DLP screens Hot Springs - Central City 10 - 10 DLP screens, 3D Mountain Home - Village 5 - 5 DLP screens, 3D Pine Bluff - Pines Mall 8 - 8 DLP screens COLORADO - 47 DLP screens DLP equipped locations: Colorado Springs - Carmike 10 - 10 DLP screens, 3D Colorado Springs - Chapel Hills 15 - 15 DLP screens, 3D Fort Collins - Carmike 10 - 10 DLP screens, 3D Grand Junction - Carmike 7 - 7 DLP screens, 3D Greeley - Carmike 5 - 5 DLP screens No DLP Yet: (7 screens remaining) Glenwood Springs - Mall 3 Steamboat Springs - Chief Plaza 4 DELAWARE - 14 DLP screens DLP conversion complete in DE Dover - Carmike 14 - 14 DLP screens, 3D FLORIDA - 63 DLP screens DLP conversion complete on all 1st run screens in FL DLP equipped locations: Bradenton - Royal Palm 20 - 20 DLP screens, 3D Fernandina Beach - Amelia Island 7 - 7 DLP screens, 3D Panama City - Carmike 10 - 10 DLP screens, 3D Pensacola - Carmike 10 - 10 DLP screens, 3D Sebring - Lakeshore 8 - 8 DLP screens, 3D Winter Park - University 8 - 8 DLP screens No DLP Yet: (7 screens remaining) Lakeland - Palm Cinema 3 (2nd run) Panama City - Mall 4 (2nd run) GEORGIA - 223 DLP screens DLP conversion complete in GA Albany - Wynnsong 16 - 16 DLP screens, 3D Americus - Cinema 2 - 2 DLP screens (new) Athens - Carmike 12 - 12 DLP screens, 3D Canton - Riverstone 15 - 15 DLP screens, 3D Cartersville - Carmike 12 - 12 DLP screens, 3D Calhoun - Martin 3 - 3 DLP screens Columbus - Hollywood Conn.

Thats pretty dam good reliability and it certainly has boosted Carmikes on screen presentation to levels never before seen. Also, places like the Cole Square in Cheyenne will never get DLP... its a walk away from theater when the lease expires which is pretty soon. Same happened in Billings at the 7 screen. The thing thats a hoot is the wide install of all the Real-D 3-D systems. With the Dolby 3-D suystem comming on line for purchase in the 20K price tag area at the end of this year it seems senseless for Carmike to be paying all the $$$ for Real-D which is quite an inferior 3-D process. The Dolby process does not require a silver screen.

That would be sweet. I hate the silver screens always have always will. So long as it feels like true quality 3-D.  |  IP: Logged
