To do this evening/ was completed: I sent an email to everyone, but part of the agreement we have with Sony is that we will send them an inspection report of any of their prints before we screen them. This has been a requirement for a while, but we've started missing them again. I sent Ghosts of Mars tonight. Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Built and scheduled Bullet for tomorrow. Built 9/25 A1 playlists. I did not make new versions of Odyssey , Miasma , Tony , or Paw Patrol . It looks like these will final on Wednesday. Also, preshow and trailers have not been assigned yet for the three movies opening on the 25th, so those playlists can get built once that comes through. I went back to the usual lights down placement for these, on the Welcome snipe, just FYI. I also built Forbidden Planet and Juice .

To do this evening/ was completed: There is another marquee rental that needs to go up tonight and remain up through Monday. I got the letters out minus one "Y." The current rental is using two "Y"s, so one of those can be used. The current one needs to stay up until 10pm.
