It can take 30-90 days and thats with them having all their together. In Los Angeles, if you were assigned to a premiere or special screening as projectionist. The average time to get paid by the studio was 60-90 days. I did a screening for HBO in LA, it took 11 months to get paid. The person in charge had been transfered and the paper got lost. I was on the payroll for Warner Bros. at the time, but I had to do all the paperwork to get on HBO's payroll. I got the turn around time on payment for Disney down from 90 days to 14 days for projectionists. Good Luck  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

I believe it took about 3 weeks from the time I submitted the invoice to the time I received the check. American Zoetrope handed me a check right on the spot as soon as the film tailed out about a year or so later for another screening. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged
