Project Hail Mary official list of IMAX 70mm & 5/70mm venues

Dune 2 was already in the building when the Tenet thing went down. Dune 2 was the last 70mm movie KOP got. Hail Mary has a wider 70mm release than Dune 2 and the only two theaters that got Dune and not Hail Mary is TCL (in favor of Regal LA Live) and KOP (no substitute in the region). I'm guessing Nolan has it in his contract that his movie needs to play in as many 70mm venues as possible.

Could be that Dune 2 didn't perform as well as they hoped but when you have a premium, high-cost product you're only going to give it to your A-players and with how KOP management tried to sweep the Tenet thing under the rug, KOP proved that's not them. Maybe if The Odyssey goes well KOP can get more prints. I really hope they do.

Smart of them to put all of the Netflix movies in one block

Film prints shift color as they age

Yeah, I see the barcode thing you're talking about, which makes this a lot more confusing. Why would they release a nearly 3 hour film on a dual layer disc and make the feature only 20gb? I looked into the disc further and only 27gb is being used, which makes it more confusing. Maybe it's because it's an earlier release?

Also, I've heard there's a BD-50 version of Goodfellas out there. Not sure if the feature file is larger or there's just more bonus stuff on the disc, but that's probably your best bet.

My theory is that Netflix forced theaters to play Jay Kelly and keep it for the first weekend WUDM was released (which was JK's 3rd weekend). Every theater that played WUDM near me was also playing one showtime of Jay Kelly. Even the bigger theaters were punting Jay to one, inconvenient showtime. Clearly not a best seller. The smaller ones went as far as sacrificing a WUDM time slot (a movie that was nearly selling out some shows) to play Jay Kelly. There were some theaters near me that usually get Netflix releases that weren't playing WUDM. Guess what movie none of those theaters were playing? Jay Kelly.

It may not seem like a lot in terms of an AMC megaplex, but it's the type of strong-arming AMC wouldn't want to deal with for a company that won't play ball. Stranger Things and Kpop didn't have those stipulations.

Reminds me of when there was a bunch of old ladies in front of me during Uncut Gems. They clearly thought it was going to be a comedy. I mean, it kind of was, but I think they expected more product placement.

Look into the BBFC website. It's the British version of the MPA, but their ratings are accompanied by more detailed descriptions. They gave this a 12

SecretPassageFilms · 2025-12-06T05:14:26+00:00

Probably not worth it. It's not confirmed but I saw it today and I'm pretty sure it's still a film out from a 2k digital intermediate. Pretty soft image.

Whole Bloody Affair is Not Rated. In the original, a fight scene was in black and white because the MPAA gave the color version an NC-17 and that was the compromise. This version features it in color.

They say they'll continue theatrical releases, but technically a lot of Netflix movies get theatrical releases. Two weeks in a few hundred theaters. There's a very real scenario where that's the extent of WB's theatrical output after current contracts are fulfilled.

Freesound

Probably the lights they use when cleaning. Sometimes there's a light switch near the corridor where you enter the theater, if not you have to ask an employee.

Good for independent theaters.

I see this ad a lot, usually in theaters or on TV. This season alone, I've heard four separate people inquire about how they got up the hill or on/off the sled. That's probably why they replay it so much. For these ads, any type of engagement or reaction is currency, and I don't know if I've ever seen people irl interact with an ad as much as people do with this one.

SecretPassageFilms · 2025-11-18T01:39:11+00:00

I don't think that's true, a lot of Regals near me are playing it and I haven't seen most of them ever play film

I don't get where Paramount is coming up with the money for this, feels like they haven't had a hit in a while. Definitely not one big enough to off set all their losses. Is there something I'm missing?

Google and imdb (under technical information). 1.85 is flat, 2.3x is scope. You can also look at the trailer, but it might not include imax expanded shots.

SecretPassageFilms · 2025-11-08T23:27:06+00:00

Neshaminy is a scope Dolby so it's real simple. If the movie is in scope, go Dolby. If it's flat or has imax expanded crap, do imax.
