I don't have digital so we are showing Tintin in scope which i must say is very good. Is 3D in flat and are all 3D movies in flat?
By the way, I went to Dolby European headquarters in Whooton Basset, UK and got demonstrated 11.1 sound set up. A very good presentation but not sure it will work in a lot of theatres. Maybe just the big screen ones.

they are releasing Tintin in both flat and scope? I thought the IMAX-digital 3D trailer I saw yesterday morning was scope.

who's going to release a film in 11.1 sound? we can barely get more studios to release in 7.1 - maybe Sony will resurrect five across 7.1 sound [Wink]

No, his question if 3D movies are always in flat, which is "no" in presentation terms.

There are 3D movies presented in the 2.39:1 "scope" ratio.

How can that be when it's not coming out for almost 2 months?

Or are you talking about the trailer?

Amazing! They must not care about movie theft on this one, eh? [Big Grin]

Is this pretty common? I remember a few shows coming out a day or a week ahead of the U.S. in some situations but I thought usually it was pretty much worldwide on the same day.....?

Our release day in France/Belgium is on Wednesday. That is why we get sometimes a release a few day before or after you.

Giving the origin of Tintin the world avant première was in Brussels last week (in the afternoon in Brussels and in Paris the evening).

We're opening Tintin next Friday in Finland.

Apparently "they" are not counting on the American audiences to love Tintin as much, it's been such a European phenomenon... like Captain America pretty much hitting rocks over here when in the US the story is all different.

As for me, I learned to read from Tintin stories. The first word I ever read was said/thought by Milou (Tintin's white dog) so I still attach the ultimate heureka-feeling to this character, the one where you can, for the first time ever, make sense of the gibberish symbols in front of you that are said to tell so much.

I really, really hope the movie does well. From all I have heard it looks awesome in 3D [Big Grin]

A lot of kids movies are in scope. It has less to do with the age group it's aimed at than the artistic intentions of the director, and the budget.
