To do this evening/ was completed: FYI I updated the vacant cue section for the print report of Little Shop of Horrors. Please add more info for the first reel if and when you can.  Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist:  Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Little Shop of Horrors went well (and to a large, large crowd of mostly kiddos), but please be aware that this print has been run through several times and likely not properly taken care of. Make your loop sizes ever so slightly larger tomorrow (this is what I do for acetate prints that are pretty beat up, just so it can breathe more).  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Received the preshow (sent as holding slide, but it is, in fact, preshow slides) for Death Spin 2 private event on 10/31. DCP'd. Please ingest once it's done.  Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Forwarded volume info to Rachel/Galen for Mickey and I Am Going To Miss You. ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up:  Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): Ordering/Receiving (content): Ingested You Can See Everything to the LMS Outgoing/Shipping (content): Print/video Inspection: Asset tracking doc updated/checked?: Yes, added November titles. Maintenance/cleaning: Started a new poster archive tube with the latest releases and added some posters to the trivia section. Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift): Yes, tomorrow is all set. Was able to get a head start on 10/16 cue sheets. You Can See Everything weekend shows are already on sale and with the feature in I made the formula and filled those out. Also filled in brunches and NewFest events during the week. Credit offset is missing for the NewFest features on this schedule without Q&As ( Tiger and I Am Going to Miss You ), and Addams Family is just preshow timing for now since we don't have the feature. ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Removed old forecasts and playlists, built all A1 10/16 playlists. Adjusted 2.20 Flat masking in T3, looks good, checked other presets to make sure all are correct. 35mm letters back up as are letters for Social Reckoning and Other Mommy. Posters updated as well. Looked at The Others, all good. Lights up added to playlist. Transferred Mickey and I Am Going To Miss You to T6 and put them on screen, they look and sound good. Inspected the rest of Vampire's Kiss, on house reels. Edward Scissorhands DCP won't be ready until tomorrow. In regard to La Bola Negra trailer, I did take it out of its container folder and still couldn't get it to populate. Who knows.

To do this evening/ was completed: Reminder that masking needs to be set in Theater 3 tomorrow for Other Mommy . It is 2.20:1 Use the 2.00 preset which is buttons 1 and 3 pressed simultaneously on the motor. I already made a 2.20 cue on the T3 Dolby server to activate that preset, so those buttons need to be set to the proper position. Also Heart of the Beast and Coyote vs. Acme letters and posters need to come down. Other Mommy and Social Reckoning letters need to go up and posters hung or updated to now showing. Also the marquee rental on the 35mm side should come down. I left all the 35mm letters out on the bench in 3/7. Don't forget to tech The Others . Presentation Issues: Preshow Clips/Playlist: Scheduled all Other Mommy  and Social Reckoning shows Added the new QR clips to all 10/9 playlists. Built and scheduled a Baby Digger playlist for Tuesday NewFest sent their land acknowledgement and anti-piracy clips so I downloaded and ingested them. Trailer Updates: Special Eve...
