On Monday 11/14, we received a hard drive for the Twilight Thursday Marathon. A call to Deluxe confirmed this drive is the same content we already have ingested from the Twilight Tuesday showings (regular content, not Fathom). The keys we receive for the Marathon should work with the content we already have ingested.

The reason a new drive was sent is because the booking for the Marathon was different from the Twilight Tuesday.

I can't decide whether this was a good job to ensure there was no problem with having the content for the Marathon, or a bone-headed lack of forethought.

Unless the file that downloads off the marathon drive is able to eliminate the added content to the beginning of the feature that was ran for the NCM events. I deleted the NCM versions and put the marathon version on. I did have a theater call me and ask about that because they put their marathon drive in and it ingested in a few seconds. I told them that it could be because they still had the files for the NCM event on the server but to be safe they may want to delete them off and re-ingest the marathon content. I do know that the run times were different.
