Author Topic: Agent Cody Banks Delivery notice from TES Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-27-2003 06:44 PM                        TES.. Wonderful TES.... Here's a big to the head ball who decided that the aforementioned prints would be delivered on SATURDAY bewteen 10am-3pm. Thanks guys. That gives us, the exhibitors, NO CHANCE of receiving replacement reels should anything be wrong with our orginal print. What bonehead makes a decision like this? I don't know about the rest of you, but my sneak is at 2pm Sunday. The sneak, IMO, should be received on Thursday, as our other prints, but, then again, I'm just the lowly chump who insures that the product gets on the screen properly and timely.. what do I know?  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-27-2003 06:59 PM                        I noticed that this has been a 'new thing' this year. I have had a few sneaks so far in 2003 and I believe almost all of them came in the same day they were supposed to sneak. Great idea guys!  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-27-2003 07:23 PM                     We've had several sneaks this year and all of them came during our normal delivery slot on Thursday.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-27-2003 08:11 PM                     Sneaks have always been a fly-by-the-wire operation. For us, we've gone from getting sneaks the day-of to getting sneaks 1 or 2 days before, most of the time. This change seems to've come in the past 2 or 3 years. Of course, this is different when there are a limitted number of prints, as opposed to when a "sneak" is really just an early first-run engagement with 2000 prints nationwide. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

With these sneaks, what are your chances of getting someone elses crap when they release.  |  IP: Logged
