Hi all,

Does anyone know if Sony supports technicolor 3D 35mm prints? Our cinema is wanting to find out for Spiderman.

Can't find it anywhere and Sony has an annoying automated phone system that wont put you through to anyone if you don't know their name.

Historically supported by Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal, & Lionsgate. But......Universal did not release The Lorax in Tech 3d and neither was Hugo from Paramount. Titanic was only digital 3d.

Going forward, I will only expect Warner Bros & maybe Paramount. Technicolor changed their pricing to $1250 per movie booked with no min. number of movies to run.

So to me, Technicolor 3d is basically dead.

Thanks guys, looks like our lens may prove to be a bit of a waste of time then!

Wasn't Tech3D only supposed to be temporary anyway?
