Author Topic: Reasons Moviegoers choose theatres Matt Hollis Film Handler Posts: 49 From: Paragould / Jonesboro, AR, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 05-20-2005 12:46 PM                        I find it kind of funny that 86% of the average movie-going population cared if a movie was shown with digital sound or not because I'm pretty sure 99% could not tell you after watching it if the sound was analog or digital. Hmm... Something to think about.

I heard they almost had a riot on their hands. quote: Carl Martin i've heard from some coworkers that already on the first day they had scratched and then wrapped a print of swep3. ouch! also the digital apparently kept dropping out, though that could be a print problem like in denmark (but why not just run the whole thing in analog then?). Well, I guess they had to keep some of that UA charm. Yeah, when I saw the Interpreter a few weeks ago and the film was scratched for the first three reels. I still think the place is better run than it used to be though. Things got really scummy there for a while.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-24-2005 02:51 PM                        another ouch! did they get it running again?  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 05-24-2005 03:39 PM                     Yes, after about 10 minutes.  |  IP: Logged
