Reels = Six
A/R = Anamorphic
Sound = SRD, DTS, SDDS, SR
Trailers = "The Deep End" (Fox Searchlight) and "Glitter" (20th)
--I am not aware of trailers from studios other than 20th Century FoxAdvice -- this is the summer super-hit the entire industry needs. Play it "Hot" and get ready to rumble at the box-office.

Sounds like an armload. I guess Fox should be grateful there was room for the feature. Do you play all those trailers, or is there a schedule made up at the district office?

Standard practice for most theaters is to follow the booker's primary requests first. Obviously the attached always gets played as well as *one* of the same studio's loose trailers (but never a total of 3 from the releasing studio). If there is no attached, but there are 2 loose trailers from the releasing studio, then both are played. Past that with other studio's trailers (in this case non-Fox), there is generally a cap such as "maximum of 5", etc that determines the final amount played. I don't know of any theater that runs more than 6 previews grand total though, and most seem to run either 4 or 5.By the way, this is the first print in a LONG time from Fox that actually had a couple of feet of black leader where the analog and dts timecode did not cut into the attached trailer and as a result, the opening note of the Fox fanfare was not cut!

Actually, I didn't recognize any titles. Admittedly, I don't know all the films in the pipeline but I am aware of what's coming through in the next six months. None of those do I recognize as Fox films.
As for the term "attached" -- 95% of the time, deluxe labs (sometimes Technicolor) will print the trailer along with the first reel continuity; IOW there is no physical splice. Are these attached trailers spliced on your first reel, or are they printed on at the lab?

Quite a mix of distributors and release date for Brad's trailers: Attached: Shallow Hal (Fox, 11/9/2001))
Loose: From Hell (Fox, 10/19/2001))
Don't Say a Word
Time Machine (Dreamworks 12/25/2001)
The One (Columbia 11/2/2001)
American Pie 2 (Universal 8/10/2001)
Rock Star (Warner Bros. 9/14/2001)
Bandits (MGM/UA 10/12/2001)
I wonder who decides which trailers are sent "loose"? Do all theatres get the same titles enclosed with a given feature, or is it random? Since the loose trailers are added to the case at the film exchange, is there a different selection process between TES and ETS?

Attached trailers are usually printed onto the first reel of the movie, but can also be hand spliced on (which most every projectionist HATE because the depots do such a sloppy job). Either way is considered an "attached" trailer.The two depots ship each other's trailers if the studios request it.
