Author Topic: "The Missing" Print Shortage Bill Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 162 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-25-2003 06:11 PM                     Is anybody else having trouble getting their print of "The Missing", set to open tomorrow? I've been told that Sony added a lot of new bookings very late, and there aren't enough prints. I'm being promised one direct from the lab via courier "sometime tomorrow". Wonder how many shows I'll miss with this one?  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 11-25-2003 07:25 PM                     Thankfully, ETS brought this one yesterday. Not a bad flick either.

By the time my delivery people got through the Seattle/Tacoma rush-hour traffic, it was 8pm when I got the print here. It showed up with no DTS discs. which means I have to go over there myself tomorrow.  |  IP: Logged William T.

No chance to preview it.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 11-26-2003 09:03 PM                        We got ours loaded up, but with "Haunted Mansion" to screen at around 9:30, we ran out of gas & ran the print this morning. ETS overnighted our DTS discs from wherever their main office is (I tossed the shipper & can't find it now) We got the DTS up for the 2nd show.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Klump Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Austin, Texas, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 11-27-2003 03:38 AM                    We got booked late for a second print and it didn't arrive till about 6 hours after the first. Didn't get the DTS discs though, what a shame. They must have hurried on the prints though because the second had like 5 lab splices and it only has 7 reels. That's the most I've seen for a mainstream movie.  |  IP: Logged
