Author Topic: Passion Of The Christ- Any trailer restrictions? Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-18-2004 12:40 PM                     With so many auditorium rentals and such, there is bound to be tons of interlocking going on the first 5 days. With as rarely as most theaters interlock, I would HOPE that these theaters play SOMETHING on the front of the movie, or the labs are bound to be re-printing lots of reel 1s. Even if it is just one trailer, that is something expendable that can get trashed in case the projectionist doesn't have something set up properly.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Like you said, we are interlocking quite a bit the first few days. Its been a while since we last interlocked, so I guess it would be best for me to run some test trailers through the interlocking first, just to make sure it will function properly.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 02-18-2004 01:27 PM                    Indeed. If you don't want to show the trailers just set the start cues appropriately and remember to start the show 3 min or so early. That'll give you plenty of time to observe the entire film route and make sure the film is seated in the rollers and no evil is taking place. No yelling "Jesus Christ!" for what you see in the booth not on the screen! You don't want to know what the Romans do to people who scratch prints.  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-19-2004 07:27 PM                     Maybe some evil film handler will slip this into the movietune mix: http://www.bettybowers.com/christian_music.html  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-19-2004 10:54 PM                        We are playing 5 trailers but no rolling stock...  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-20-2004 01:04 AM                        Does anyone have the guts to run this as a double feature with "...And God Spoke" (1993)?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-20-2004 05:53 AM                     Orgazmo would make for a much better double feature.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-20-2004 08:36 AM                     Dogma!

We're gonna interlock 3 machines per day for Passion, so I'm gonna end up pulling trailers anyway for that, and for the group showings we've got with churches. But failing that, we decided on Home on the Range, Shrek 2, Ella Enchanted, Jersey Girl. Still gonna have problems with those anyways...  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-20-2004 01:41 PM                     The two prints that I just got have "Madison" on the head and "Two Brothers" loose in the can. Two prints for one screen Just got another print in about an hour ago. This one is a showprint without trailers. The count is three prints for one screen.

We threw on our big red lights that shine right on the screen. If I'm on I'll start the show anywhere from one to four minutes later depending if there is another show a half hour later. Lot of people walk in expecting trailers and walk out pissed because they arrived 10-15 minutes after the feature began.  |  IP: Logged
