Has anyone run THE WALL of late? It is an MGM title and I believe they still have the theatrical rights. I need to find out if there are any playable prints that anyone has actually handled lately. As we all know, the fact that a distributor says they "have a print," these days doesn't mean it's in any shape to screen for a paying audience. Any idea if they ever struck Dolby digital (or DTS) prints?

We are looking for a playdate sometime in November.

WB has the currently-circulating print. We ran it last November and per our print reports it's still in reasonable condition. Print was made sometime circa 2003. Dolby "A" noise reduction; no digital versions noted at the time. (They had a very much faded 70mm print, too, but that may now be "retired".)
