Many may not know that Universal also owns approximately 750 pre-1950 Paramount titles and prints of many of these films were also destroyed.
What is most worrisome for venues like the Wexner Center or the Cleveland Cinematheque is that lost prints may not be replaced. It sounds like no negatives were destroyed in the fire so most prints could be replaced (if negatives still exist). But will they? The vast majority of films in the catalog are only booked once or twice every few years. Will the studio pay the thousands of dollars it will require to replace prints of films with limited commercial appeal? The cost per print when creating thousands of prints for a new release like The Incredible Hulk is relatively low. The cost to strike one or two prints, however, is relatively high and considering that most films will take years (if not decades) to recoup the cost it took to strike them one has to wonder how many prints will in fact be replaced.
Since the fire the decided not to strike as many prints.I will look for the news article and post………The plan was to strike new prints and months later they decided against it.
Bob I think you have lost your mind.Digital 3d is amazing!Anyone that bashes todays 3d is stuck in the past and probably hates all digital…Sorry it is what it is………..
Digital 3d is far better than any other 3d.Bolt was a good kids movie that did not need 3d but was far better with it.3d this time is here to stay …..like it or not……
I will give them 1 free piece of advice…..TAKE CREDIT CARDS 43% OF MY BSNS IS CARDS…………THEY Are loosing at least 20% revenue!This is 2009 unless you have a $ 2.00 house you better take cards if you want to stay in bsna…………I just gave them 20 % and i did not even leave my computer……..
A bad economy is the best for movie theaters.Bsns is booming at theaters all over the country .I suspect this is not run well.They get the cream of the crop films and still have the hand out…
The price may not be crazy for the building.Going to be run as a theater it is a crazy price.The price may be well worth itbut it is not priced so so some one can run it as a theater.If it was it would still be open.

I dont know who can see a hi def on a 30,40 or 50 ft screen at home in stereo….Most have never seen EMERGINGS HI def on the big screen.
Universal is not making new 35mm prints on most of the old movies anymore.
We are going to show the new HITCH —HI DEF IN OUR THEATER.We have a very high end projector for these but it is not 2k or 4k.
Ken is obsessed with the word big screen tv .(He uses it in most post about new technology)
The pictures is amazing and clear.This series will bring HITCH back to the big screen for people who would never get the chance to see it.
I HAVE 2 FOR SALE ………….
