DTS-ES logo on the CDs? Auto-EX? Dolby Digital Surround EX and DTS-ES logos in the credits? Other indicators that the film has been mixed in Extended-Surround?

Sorry, forgot one other question: SDDS-8 since this is Sony release and has been mixed by Greg P. Russell and Kevin O'Connell?

Posted by Hannes Helfenstein (Member # 2709) on 05-02-2007, 10:00 AM:

SDDS-8 according to sdds.com. So I really doubt that this film is in SRD-EX and DTS-ES or can anybody else confirm Extended-Surround?

We're being told the depot isn't releasing prints until 12:01 on Thursday morning. We've got a 10am screening on Thursday, so I'll be able to confirm if the film is EX at that time.

Posted by Blaine Young (Member # 3992) on 05-03-2007, 09:40 AM:

No EX, and standard DTS.

All reels very full, Reel 3 the fullest. Of all 4 prints (28 reels) I built, 2 reels were not labeled (head/tail), so be careful.

Rush Hour 3

We are running 6 prints. Of these, 1 entire print has 'water streaking' down the right side of the screen - visible mostly during the bright scenes. 1 reel of a 2nd print has 'water streaking' and a 3rd print has a section of blank film base nearly 3 feet long in the middle of the reel.

I've checked with another local house that has 3 prints, and two of their prints have the 'water streaking' problem.

Clearly these prints were run off too fast and not properly processed. I guess that is what you get for having upwards of 7000 prints.

Also, Spider-man 3 is widest release of all time--4,252 theatres. Beat out Shrek 2 by around 30 theatres.

I can confirm problems with prints.

The print I built up ended up having massive discoloration for approx 10 secs at the end of one reel when another supervisor watched it. And we obviously didn't get a replacement in time for the midnight shows.

I have a feeling that their initial theater count was lower than what it is now. Also, they probably requested even more prints for theaters who have multiple screens. A theater on Oahu has 5 prints.

I did note however that both of my prints were dated April 15. So I assume that if your copy has water streaking it may have been one of the more recent ones. They probably did rush to print additional reels.

Posted by Chris Slycord (Member # 4239) on 05-05-2007, 04:00 AM:

All 3 of our prints had minor to major problems (one had a reel with MAJOR color issues at its tail, another had an emulsion scratch & other stuff that seemed to indicate it had been viewed already but was new, and another had slight color streaking).

Another nearby theater in my chain had 6 prints, each of which had some problem.

Print condition discussion should be continued in this thread.
