So...will they actually sell prints to venues that want them? Or do they (Warners) keep the print after the engagement?
If a theater or organization I was in charge of paid to strike the print, in no way should that print be returned. It should be kept on the property so it can be properly cared for until the next engagement we ran (obviously with a new booking/license). I HIGHLY doubt that is what is happening though.

It would be cool if some sort of VPF was setup so if Jack's theater paid to have a new print struck and then Steve's theater played it, that Jack would have $100 refunded to him from Steve's engagement, then $100 from the next engagement and so forth until the print cost was recouped. The odds of that happening though are about as good as 35mm making a comeback in mainstream cinema.
