He watched the ad's and trailers then sat and watched the first 25 mins of the film. said the sound was fantastic and he was very impressed! (THX screen) So beware if your not showing 'Die another day' and 'Minority report' trailers in the U.K. Darren  |  IP: Logged Bill Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 162 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-18-2002 09:08 PM                     I've had the checker here for the past two days in Minneapolis, but he has not yet gone into the auditorium. He's just counting heads as they go into the door.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-18-2002 11:12 PM                     Somehow I doubt that Fox would get very upset that you were not showing Die Another Day, an MGM film. Minority Report, yes, since that is attached (or 'hard-locked' as you euros like to call it). Of course maybe Fox is handling the international distribution of Die Another Day. Anything is possible I guess.  |  IP: Logged Lance C.

Love it because he helps clean the theatres.... And he has stayed for all the shows so far. lance  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 05-19-2002 11:43 AM                     Minority Report was co-financed by Fox; it will be released through Fox in US/Canada and DreamWorks elsewhere. MGM moved its international distribution to Fox last year.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-19-2002 12:57 PM                     Thanks Charles, didn't know that.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 05-19-2002 01:39 PM                     What is a ticket cop?  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!
