Author Topic: Technicolor Early Deliveries - Week of 1/10/05 Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-09-2005 02:00 AM                     Received a fax on Friday 1/7/05 stating that they would be making their deliveries this week due to impending national weather on Monday 1/11/05. I thought, yahoo, with 4 titles opening this week, I can get things screened early and not stay so late on Thurs. See, that can do it. Unfortunately, it required the help of Mother Nature.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-09-2005 02:24 AM                     After the Christmas debacle I imagine they decided not to take any chances. Good for them though, at least they do learn from their mistakes .  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-09-2005 10:40 AM                    Or the studios did. Recommendations can be made but it's ultimately up to them.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-09-2005 10:43 AM                     Or they read the forums. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-09-2005 11:23 AM                    Let's see, the four movies coming out this week. Elektra (Fox) = ETS Racing Stripes (WB) = ETS Coach Carter (PAR.) = ETS For additional prints or those who didn't run sneaks In Good Company (UNIV.) = TES Expanding release The only one benefiting the early delivery.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-09-2005 07:26 PM                        Too bad this doesn't happen with movies people are actually going to go see.  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-10-2005 09:07 AM                     Damn, I was so hopeful.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 01-10-2005 09:48 AM                     Does the impending national weather include the -5 degree F highs we're expecting this coming weekend?  |  IP: Logged Chris Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Fairport, NY, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-11-2005 12:49 AM                        We just received this fax today...very interesting to say the least. From the looks of it, the only print that this will affect for us is "In Good Company". Still, seeing as how we have 6 bulids this week, any chance to get a head start is cool by me!  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-11-2005 12:05 PM                     Yesterday we got the fax telling us your print would be delivered Tuesday about 15 minutes after the print was delivered .  |  IP: Logged
