Author Topic: Ghost Protocol Early Release Non-Imax Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-08-2011 01:37 PM                     GHOST PROTOCOL is not just opening early at IMAX locations. It is also opening at Marcus Ultrascreens, Cinemark XD, RAVE Xtrene on the 15th or 16th. I'm guessing it might be opening at other large screen flavors also, but I haven't confirmed any yet. Was just in the Ultrascreen last week, and the picture is much brighter and clearer with their new digital equipment.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 12-08-2011 01:52 PM                        I noticed this on the release calendar a few weeks ago. I suspect it's an attempt to prevent screens from going to Tintin on 12/21.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 12-08-2011 03:22 PM                     If you watch the end of the most recent full trailer, it says something about opening in IMAX and PLF screens on December 16th. Or, rather, the one that's not tagged "No IMAX."  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-13-2011 12:29 AM                        Umm ... Paramount is distributing both Mission Impossible and Tintin ... why would they do this to block their own film?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2011 07:16 PM                        TinTin is Dreamworks. Probably the two divisions fighting it out. (Or -- maybe the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing?) I personally think both of them are going to be hits, but not the mega-blockbusters Par is hoping for.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-13-2011 09:03 PM                        Though different production divisions, the same sales person sells both films...  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 12-27-2011 12:05 PM                    quote: Justin Hamaker I noticed this on the release calendar a few weeks ago.

Most of the digital IMAX cinemas in my area are showing Tintin for the matinee with MI4 in the even shows.  |  IP: Logged
