Author Topic: Yes Man runtime Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-07-2009 10:20 PM                     All of our Yes Man prints (3 of em) seem to be running about 7 mins longer than what they should be. All have 4-5 trailers, but are dropping 8-10 mins later than scheduled. Any one else notice this?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-08-2009 01:59 AM                     I guess the obvious question would be what running time are you going by? What did they give you?  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA. Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-09-2009 10:10 AM                     According to the feature info/attachments forum the runtime is 104 minutes. The runtime our booker gave is 105 minutes. What time do you have?  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-09-2009 12:35 PM                     Order one of those Neumade film measuring machines and run each reel though to get your total feet. then divide that total by 90 and that'll give you total minutes.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-09-2009 02:48 PM                     We were told 104 mins and i would love to have a film counter, but our lowly theatre won't buy one until our attendance goes up.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-11-2009 03:49 PM                     Ours is running at 104 minutes.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-11-2009 04:31 PM                     Maybe it's just me but perhaps you're scheduling the whole print as 104 minutes and it's getting out late because the 4-5 trailers come out to be the extra 10 minutes that shouldn't have been included in the 104 mins?  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-12-2009 02:44 PM                     No, we have a 15 min trailer time included in all films. Our 1:55 is scheduled to drop at 3:54. (104+15=119)  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-13-2009 05:20 PM                     Then I guess some of your trailers are longer than you allowed for.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-13-2009 05:40 PM                     After I added another trailer, it's dropping 1 minute before scheduled. I blame global warming.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-13-2009 05:44 PM                     Canadian version clocks in at 105mins.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-13-2009 06:40 PM                        quote: Jonathan Althaus it's dropping May I ask where this term came from? Why is the ending of the show a "drop?" The same thing is being applied to new releases of music albums. Billboard keeps saying "the new album drops next Tuesday." WTF? Please enlighten my 52 year old self.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-13-2009 06:56 PM                    So does that mean the new release is over next Tuesday?  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 01-13-2009 07:02 PM                     I assume the "drop" is the free-fall of the accumulator that can be heard throughout booth as a loud thunk.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-13-2009 10:18 PM                     I always assumed it the analog of "comes on screen" (from "comes on stage"): "drops off screen." --jhawk  |  IP: Logged
