Our print of Kites has a pair of DTS discs included with the movie... and a trailer for a movie called Raavan, buried deep in to the sixth reel (the film has seven reels).

Joe, the Bollywood distributors have got a lot more professional in the UK, they've had to. Indian films make more money than British titles per year at the box office. I'm sure for the Tamil films though it is just some video shop in NW London doing it!

I would nip the print storage issue in the bud asap otherwise you'll have a room full of them.

Hrithik Roshan is big news, and the trailer for Kites got a good reception from the audiences for My Name Is Khan which did monster business. Really hope it does well for us as a good Bollywood is great for business.

Michael is it the Cineworld in Bradford that has three screens of Kites? The Cineworld near-ish to us in Feltham has four screens, which I assume is two prints being bicycled. Our company is playing it wider than we normally do for Bollwyood. Do you know if we have it in digital anywhere?

We did poorly with this during the day, but pretty well during the night. Almost sold out, but not quite. We have the 130-minute extendo edition, not the 90 minute ADD edition.

Didn't do much for us tonight. Not worth putting it in a 450 seater audirorium.

Yeah, I assume it's one print bicycled one one digital. We had a privte screen hire for some Pakistani movie this morning, which did quite well, and the guy might use us again.

Just got our "remix" version today. (5 reels) Didn't notice any trailers attached or intermissions. Anyone else handled this version?
