To do this evening/ was completed: Presentation Issues: At the start of the feature during the second round in theater 1 ( Project Hail Mary at 5:45PM) the masking began covering the screen instead of opening to its 2:1 setting. MODs called and I manually triggered the 2:1 cue, fortunately only a minute or so had passed, and the curtains moved to the correct position. I double checked the playlists and there were no missing or incorrect cues. It looked like the curtains had moved in over the image too, not even staying at 1.85 like during the pre show, but had changed to a narrower setting. This film plays in theater 2 next so I will keep an eye on it then to see if its masking is affected as well and update accordingly (update: no issue with the masking in theater 2) Preshow Clips/Playlist: Trailer Updates: Special Events/ AV set up: Ran loops in 1 for the  Swordfish  screening this evening + brought a chair and mic stand down and checked the spots in 7 for the private event ...

To do this evening/ was completed: Ingest Mr. Nobody Against Putin and Revelations of Divine Love . Convert Snowy Bing Bongs to DCP. Build and schedule the Stranger By The Lake  and Super Mario Galaxy playlists when their preshows are downloaded/ingested. For tomorrow/Friday: They Will Kill You has a 2.20:1 aspect ratio in the standard flat container. -Nothing we haven't dealt with before, but we're going to have to reset masking presets as we adjusted them for Undertone's 2.12:1 aspect ratio. -I think we should just set the 2.20 masking presets (and Variable Ratio in 3 and 7) back to the true 2.20 and present Undertone (which is probably close to leaving us anyway) in this masking, so there will be some black on the sides for the remaining  Undertone shows. -I already set the Variable Ratio preset to 2.20 in T3 since I put the They Will Kill You staff screening in there tomorrow. Presentation Issues: Cleaning lights didn't go off at the start of the first presho...
