how do movie theatres get to play newly released movies? How is it sent to them?
In: Other
They used to be received as film prints in multiple cannisters the day before, which would have to be spooled up and spliced in the correct order onto enormous platters which the projectors would play them back from. Also, if you were really good buddies with the projectionist you could get let into the theater after-hours on Thursday night to watch the “premiere” hours before the regular public while drinking beer and listening to your favorite tunes pumped into the house audio. Or at least so I’ve heard.
