Anyone else out there scheduled to run the Midnight show tonight of Incredibles having trouble getting their prints from Technicolor? This is a load of crap. Our theater gets a call today from them telling us that they could not get our prints to us until midnight and 1:30 am. This all due to print availability. We get a call back telling us that they can have at least 1 print to us by 6:30...Oh now you can have us a print. They should of had us both prints on time since we indicated to our booking department that we were running the midnight show. Now I can see one of the reasons why Miramax and Sony jumped ship.

I know that my theater is running a midnight...I dont know if we have our copy yet. I will know around 8pm when I go in to do teardown. If its not in by about 10:30pm were pretty much screwed.

And by "screwed" I mean, ill be building that mofo like a bat out of hell...and it wont look too pretty either.

I've heard US prints are all on Kodak VISION Premier Color Print film 2393. [thumbsup]

Vibrant colors and rich blacks:

Now, there's a new choice in motion picture print films--KODAK VISION Premier Color Print Film / 2393. A film with a different look. Richer blacks. More saturated colors. Cleaner performance. A film worthy of the KODAK VISION Film family name.

The upper tone scale of VISION Premier Color Print Film is significantly higher in density than EASTMAN EXR Color Print Film, so shadows are deeper, colors are more vivid, and the image snaps and sizzles on the screen. The toe areas of the sensitometric curves are matched more closely, producing more neutral highlights on projection. Cinematographers can be more creative with lighting and exposure, and still see remarkable results.

I got three and a half prints on the first DHL delivery. They sent our mylars and the other can on a truck trailing the first by twenty minutes. How logistical.

Got our two prints at 3:30, our normal time. One of the prints is a backup in case the digital messes up...

HAHA! I KNEW it! I haven't handled a print but I sure noticed on-screen. The blacks were very deep and grain was almost nonexistant. I'm really gaining an eye for film stocks I guess. I think 2393 is the best for CGI-type films. Ice Age was another one on 2393 that looked awesome.
