Author Topic: NSS and Technicolor merger Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-18-2001 03:23 PM                     Just an FYI if anybody hasn't heard yet. My corporate office just informed us that NSS and Technicolor have merged and we are to disregard any of the old NSS account numbers and start using Technicolor exclusively for all orders of all advertising material and trailers. I am curious how this is all going to play out... ------------------ Chris Duvall General Manager Regal Cinemas Colonnade14 Las Vegas, NV  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

You are just now hearing about this?

I have rumors of it before, but never seen anything on it until now.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-18-2001 09:27 PM                        Technicolor DID buy out NSS a couple of years ago, but the recent development is that the two companies are now merging, i.e. you will use your TES account number and contact numbers for everything, instead of calling two separate places for stuff. This will be more convenient; one phone call to find out they're out of everything.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-19-2001 11:16 PM                        We no longer use either of them. We call the studios directly. Why should we pay for the ad material for a studios film? That's our arrangement. It works just fine.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-20-2001 01:20 PM                        Three of the companies also offer websites thru which you can order materials and find out pertinent facts about the movies. www.foxexhibitor.com (20th Century Fox) www.exhibitorrelations.com (Universal) www.sonypicturesreleasing.com (Sony) Independent Marketing Edge also has ad slicks for download. www.imeonline.com  |  IP: Logged
