My print also arrived with a notice that there will be deliberate digital-to-analog audio reversions in reel 3 as part of a print "security system".

Sounds like all reel 3s are defective to me. Everyone should call for a replacement.

There was a note enclosed stating that reel 3 had digital-to-analog sound reversions for security reasons. I guess the watermarkings on the actual image didn't help piracy so they have to ruin the sound instead.

Letter from Paramount regarding the Australian release...

quote:
The "Exemption" Censor Tag appears at the end of the "Monsters Vs Aliens" Trailer, which has been hard-locked to the New Prints of "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa".

Projectionists will need to remove the "Exemption" Censor tag from the end of the trailer and splice it in at the start of the trailer, as per usual.

Nice one boys. [Roll Eyes]
