Re: The Hobbit
Saw TDKR again...saw The Hobbit trailer again as well. This is the 2nd time I've seen it in theaters. Goddamn does it feel amazing to see that world on a big screen. Just...feels so good on a big screen.

Re: The Hobbit
I was going back to this statement:
I thought the ad was representing directors in some way, or possibly having directors explicitly quoted.
The ad in question was made by a movie theater chain. Of course a movie theater chain is going to say movies should be seen in theaters. I don't see how that ad is representative of any director's opinion though.

Of course, this is just my opinion.
(So, don't expect any charts, links or proof of Internet research. Feel free to disagree.)

Re: The Hobbit
Oh, I can understand why someone says "in my opinion" around here. It’s self-defense. There are a few who take things way too serious and forget that most comments are just an opinion. I have no problem that people disagree with someone, but you'd think it was an important political debate at times with the demands of links, proof of Internet research and expected public apologies for exaggerations to emphasize an opinion or the floggings for an honest minor mistake. And don't misspell anything either because this is serious stuff here.
"You’re entitled to your own opinions. You’re not entitled to your own facts. " - Daniel Patrick Moynihan
“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion." - Harlan Ellison
In my case, I understand many people are posting their personal opinions, which is fine. However, I'm free to post my disagreement with those opinions. Typically, I may also ask for reasoning behind an opinion, and I'll often give mine, as simply posting an opinion is often uninteresting. If that reasoning is based at all on any facts, those facts damn well better be correct. Otherwise you have an uninformed or misguided opinion.
I often provide references for facts that I cite, and I often ask the same. This is as much so that I can learn of new facts and information as it is for confirmation. For example, when bunkaroo mentioned a movie trailer as evidence of directors thinking that a movie needs to be seen in a theater, I asked about the trailer so that I could further educate myself. Seeing the trailer, and learning who made it and showed it, it turned out that bunkaroo was mistaken about it.
Far, far, too often have I come across people on the internet that believe untrue "facts," and have had their opinions colored by this incorrect knowledge. Thus when I see untruths repeated, I correct them, and when I see something mentioned as fact, I eager to confirm it as such.
Also note that if I ask for a citation, it's typically because I can't find one myself. I always search google when I come across something I didn't previously hear about in a thread before I resort to asking the person that said it for a reference.

In reality, there is no guarantee that a specific trailer will play with a specific movie. When we receive movies there are usually 3-10 trailers in the can plus one physically attached to the movie. In general the attached trailer will play in virtually all theatres because it is a pain to remove it. Otherwise it's up to the theatre to decide which trailers to program. While you can almost guarantee that something like Harry Potter or Spiderman will be programmed on any movie requested, something like The Number 23 is going to be more hit and miss.
Hope that helps.

I have been a theatre manager for over 10 years and we usually don't know what trailers will be included with any given movie until we receive the print.

Re: The Hobbit
Also as to how one can find a trailer of a certain film? Pretty much what Jay. G posted. Some are literally w/ the film ie Man of Steel. Others are random..but still played a lot ie The Hobbit.
Out of 3 IMAX and 1 35mm showings...I saw The Hobbit on one IMAX showing and the 2nd time being my 35mm showing.

Re: The Hobbit
Via Variety:
I was actually wondering about that bit. If we would be charged or not for it. Good. Standard 3D pricing.
EXHIBS: NO UPCHARGE FOR 48FPS 'THE HOBBIT'
EXCLUSIVE: While moviegoers will have to shell out the usual 3D upcharge for Warner Bros.’ THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, U.S. exhibitors have agreed not to charge more for the film’s 48 frames-per-second showtimes. It was widely assumed that auds would have to pay a premium for the doubled frame-rate format, compared to the industry-standard 24 fps — and someday, they might. But with 3D already costing on average $3-$5 more than a 2D ticket, Warners did not advocate for a higher ticket price, and exhibs agreed. As Variety first reported, Warners plans a limited rollout for its high-frame-rate version of THE HOBBIT, which launches Dec. 14. The studio wants to protect the format’s first time out by going in limited release — reaction was mixed during a presentation this spring at CinemaCon — so it’s no surprise that the studio is against a HFR upcharge. - Andrew Stewart

Re: The Hobbit
I think the bigger concern is how many theaters are going to get 48fps. For example, I suspect it won't ever be an option here is Buttfuck, Utah.

Re: The Hobbit
Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures jointly announced today that the final film in Peter Jackson's trilogy adaptation of the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, now titled The Hobbit: There and Back Again, will be released worldwide on July 18, 2014. All three films in the trilogy are productions of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.
The Studios also announced the title of the second installment in the franchise, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which will be released on December 13, 2013. The first film in the trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, opens this holiday season, on December 14, 2012. Shot in 3D 48 frames-per-second, the trilogy of films will be released in High Frame Rate (HFR) 3D, other 3D formats, IMAX and 2D.
Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures, stated, "We wanted to have a shorter gap between the second and third films of 'The Hobbit' Trilogy. Opening in July affords us not only the perfect summer tentpole, but fans will have less time to wait for the finale of this epic adventure."
Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President of International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures, added, "'The Hobbit: There and Back Again' will be an action spectacle and an emotional conclusion for this already much-anticipated trilogy. Opening in the summer will maximize playability for what promises to be an event film for fans the world over."
From Academy Award-winning director Peter Jackson, the trilogy of films is set in Middle-earth 60 years before "The Lord of the Rings," which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar-winning The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
The screenplay for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first film in the trilogy, is by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson & Guillermo del Toro. Jackson is also producing the films, together with Carolynne Cunningham, Zane Weiner and Fran Walsh. The executive producers are Alan Horn, Toby Emmerich, Ken Kamins and Carolyn Blackwood, with Boyens and Eileen Moran serving as co-producers.
Under Jackson's direction, all three movies are being shot in digital 3D using the latest camera and stereo technology. Additional filming, as with principal photography, is taking place at Stone Street Studios, Wellington, and on location around New Zealand.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the two remaining films in the trilogy are productions of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, with New Line managing production. Warner Bros. Pictures is handling worldwide theatrical distribution, with select international territories as well as all international television licensing, being handled by MGM.
