The theaters I setup are running this at 8-8.5 7 is the norm for pretty much everything except shitty Michael Bay movies.  |  IP: Logged Jerome Holmes Film Handler Posts: 35 From: San Jose, Ca Registered: Nov 2008 posted 09-20-2011 06:19 PM                     To diverge from the sound topic. When LK 2d image is framed correctly, there is a black bar sitting on the masking on screen right(Test frame lines/arrows are absolutely correct). I couldn't tell that it was a black bar till I moved it over the screen in an attempt to re-center what i thought was image area. There is no symmetrical vertical black bar on the right hand side, which it sounds like you guys have seen. Am I understanding this correctly? The original post states that there are "black pillars on either side", but i only have mine on the left side of the image.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Just go into the lens shift control and shift the lens a touch to the right to get the other side's black bar exposed..just have to forget about the screen test thingey for the time being. ...gotta be a "projectionist' - bend the rules some and make up your own.  |  IP: Logged Walter Rabey Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Canada Registered: Nov 2010 posted 09-21-2011 04:13 AM                    Did anyone notice the sound level to be a little on the quiet side? I ran the 5.1 3D package and had to turn my CP500 fader up to 7.0. Normally I find 6.0 sufficient for just about any film at my multiplex. Excellent film though. Picture quality was great. My favorite movie. Im happy they left the 'morning report' sequence out on this one.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

I do not ever recall this happening before with a re release of a movie that is already out with a DVD, VHS and Laserdisc. On top of that, the Blu-Ray in both 2-D and 3-D is scheduled to be release in less than two weeks with a updated DVD. The 3-D showing I saw last Saturday in the largest auditorium at Regal's Pearl Highland Theatres was well attended with almost the same amount of people that were there for films like THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA. The movie was also released in 2-D at this theatre Does anyone have the figures for both version of the film and which version made the most money? I have noticed the movie was only released in Digital because the theatres that does not have it here in Honolulu are not showing it. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 09-21-2011 02:54 PM                     quote: Walter Rabey Did anyone notice the sound level to be a little on the quiet side?

I can see it now....dozens of suits at Disney trying to decide which classic animated movie to convert next. I can save them the trouble because I have the best idea right here: ALADDIN That would be great in 3D, what with the magic carpet flight scenes and Robin Williams' genie popping out of things, etc.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-21-2011 04:49 PM                     (Tell the Disney suits NOT to bring up "Pocahontas...") This 3D conversion thing could start a boulder rolling down the hill with tons of films to think of converting (and please, let's put "Star Wars" to rest for a few decades now...), and wonder who's brave enough to start the list? -Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-21-2011 05:31 PM                        Well, you're too late for putting Star Wars "to rest" -- Episode I in 3D is already scheduled for next spring.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 09-21-2011 06:01 PM                        I have heard some of the studios are restoring a few 3-D films from the 50s for release on Blu-Ray in 3-D and I hope the success of the 3-D release of THE LION KING will make it possible to see some or all of them in theatres before they are released on discs. I know Warners is already working on HOUSE OF WAX and Columbia is preparing MISS DADIE THOMPSON. Because the younger generation has never heard of the 3-D films of the films, I do not think a one or two week run will be too successful. They should play as one or two day special events with only one or two showings a day. A digital presentation of SCARFACE starring Al Pacino was presented tihis way in some Regal Theatres and I think it will be a great way to present some 3-D films from the fifties. I have never seen these films in 3-D and I would willing to pay a reasonable amount to see KISS ME KATE, DIAL M FOR MURDER, HONDO and MISS SADIE THOMPSON in that format. I have seen these in 3-D and would love to see HOUSE OF WAX, INFERNO, SANGAREE, IT CAME FROM OUT OF SPACE, THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, BWANA DEVIL, THOSE REDHEADS FROM SEATTLE, ARENA and many others again. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-21-2011 06:41 PM                     ("Dang!" Mike, you're right - forgot about EP:1 for spring release ... here they come again...) ..and Paramount's doing "Top Gun" also..(spoke too soon..) What I'm seeing is this: Houses are having horrible openings where theatres would like to, at least, fill them half way on a Fri night. Studios are also recognizing lackluster opening night grosses..something has to be done.. "Let's start a new "fad" - re-releasing films in 3D. No production costs have to be done since they've already been made. Just spend a few million to have them converted to 3D and try to bank twice on the re-issues"..and the cinemas will be happy to getting their houses filled once again... a "win-win" situation here" See what happens. - Monte  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 09-21-2011 10:24 PM                     I'd rather have something old and good like The Lion King or Ghostbusters playing in my theatre to full houses than some new and crappy playing to empty houses.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-21-2011 11:35 PM                     Now, I'd pay to see "Ghostbusters (1984)" in 3D..  |  IP: Logged Juan Carlos Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Querétaro, Qro, México Registered: Sep 2010 posted 09-23-2011 12:45 AM                        Hi Everybody!!!!... this is not a "solution", but works, (in Mexico, Lion King 3D was released in August 26.) In the cinema, have a Christie cp2000zx, and a 3 Barco (2 dp2k19b and dp2k20c)... in christie, select any Flat 3d channel, and change output resolution (default: 1998*1080) to 1920*1080, the pillarbox is minimal....or null. (this depends the size of the screen....in one screen we have proportion 14*9 without pillarbox, but in another screen with proportion 16*9 is minimal.) in barco, it´s much hard to make, (edit macro), and i can´t remember how to do it!!!but it´s the principal... sorry....in christie is so much easy to make !!!! good luck!!!  |  IP: Logged
