Author Topic: Rentrak is buying NeilsenEDI Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-18-2009 06:17 PM                        Just got the new I.M.E. and it says Rentrak is getting ready to purchase NeilsenEDI in a deal that will close in the first quarter of 2010. I guess that's cool -- We use RTS and it already reports to Rentrak, but not to EDI, so it'll be nice not to have to answer that phone call every night.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 12-18-2009 06:50 PM                     RTS can report to EDI as well or as we used to do; call them before they call you.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-18-2009 10:23 PM                        Our booker reports grosses for all his clients in the morning, but they refuse to stop calling us in the evenings. Me call them? Forget it.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 12-19-2009 02:11 AM                     What I liked is when they'd forget about timezones and call before you even have someone on setting up the snack bar. It's like "Yes, we really aren't open. Seattle and NYC are 3 hours apart."  |  IP: Logged Paul J. Neuhaus Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Iraq.. Again! Registered: Jun 2005 posted 12-26-2009 08:28 PM                     I've never done it ...but has anybody else been tempted to or actually just made up numbers just because they aren't ready or your just really pissed they keep calling.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 12-27-2009 11:39 AM                     I had a manager on insisted on giving them the nets instead of the grosses.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 12-27-2009 11:11 PM                     I've never done it intentionally, but I have given the wrong gross before and received a call from a studio rep just to verify the amount.  |  IP: Logged
