Was there an accompanying act? I've done repertory for years and have never seen numbers like that. Carbon Leaf was the opening act. Much of the crowd (1/3 or more?) missed most of their act because of the traffic crawl getting in. I don't know if many folks were there just for Carbon Leaf, but I didn't notice anyone leaving when they finished. I DID notice a lot of people leave before the last 10 minutes of the film, almost certainly to try to beat the traffic. I asked some employees about turnout and they said it ranges anywhere from a couple of thousand to a sell-out, depending upon the film and the weather. JAWS is next week. I'll be out of town, otherwise, I'd be there.  |  IP: Logged Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 07-01-2009 10:02 PM                     quote: Brad Miller And for that much profit, the studio should've at least struck a brand new print for the venue. Strike a new print? Do something for the exhibitor? That's a good one, Brad!  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-01-2009 10:20 PM                     OK, I'll play dumb here. Has anyone ever asked a studio to strike a new print of a title and ponied up the cash for it and had them refuse? --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Jack Theakston Master Film Handler Posts: 411 From: New York, USA Registered: Sep 2007 posted 07-03-2009 01:11 PM                     Yes. WB has a "no outside money" policy. Every other studio I've dealt with are fine about this.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 09-28-2009 04:38 PM                     On the weekend of October 2nd and 3rd, The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre located on Journal Square in Jersey City, New Jersey will open it’s 9th season of classic films.
