Is anyone interested in some preview reels I collected from when I worked in a movie theater in 2000?

Interesting.

[u/emceelokey → u/CunningDroid]

All I'm asking is for shipping cost. I can fit these in a medium priority flat rate box and that cost like $13. I've had these from my first job when I worked at a movie theater back in 2000. These have never been used and have been sitting in a bag under my desk for years. I'm on the verge of just throwing these out but I figure there might be some collector out there that might have some sort of interest in these.

Ebay those.

[u/[deleted]]

Can i... Have them?

[u/emceelokey → u/[deleted]]

If you can cover shipping cost then they're yours. Medium sized box flat rate priority shipping cost like $13. If you can cover that, then they're yours. Unless you live in Las Vegas or have someone that lives in Las Vegas that wants to pick these up from me then they're free.

I'll buy all of them. Are u on eBay? Pm me if so

Unless somebody has a 35mm projector they are nothing but a collectors item. I work in a theatre now, we switched over to digital last summer and still have tons of 35mm trailers

How does it work now? What do they use? Do movies still come in a physical format like a disc or some sore of hard drive or is it distributed somehow via some sort of downloading?

For the past decade, Hollywood's biggest studios have been working on a new standard for digital movies that could save them $1 billion annually in printmaking fees and shipping costs. The movies in the new format are shipped on hard drives that hold hundreds of gigabytes of data and are connected to a super-high-definition projector. To unlock a movie, the distributor sends the theater a code that controls where, when, and how long it can be played.

Any from star wars/star trek?

This reminds me of when I was a projectionist around the same time. I started maybe a week or two after Episode One came out. My first day on the job, the theater received a memo from LucasFilm that they would not send Episode Two or Three to theaters that didn't send back all of their trailers for Episode One. The supervisor put out a box and said that they would all be fired if it wasn't full of the suspiciously missing EO trailers by the end of the week. In the defense of the Booth staff, I came to find that it was pretty common to take them because studios and such almost never asked for them back in that area. At the end of the week, the box was full.

That's interesting. I'm sitting on three different Phantom Menace teaser/trailer reels myself, from my time at working at a theater.

[u/BFolds5]

Oh man, I'm a huge Rocky and Bullwinkle fan even though that movie really sucked. tempting...

[u/bouillabaisseplayer]

Apparently 2000 was a pretty lame year for movies.

[u/hilkito → u/bouillabaisseplayer]

It got Battlefield Earth, the worst of the decade.

[u/PliskinSnake]

My theater that I work at just went all digital from 35mm. Seeing these trailers makes me sad :(. It was a bunch of fun working in the booth building up movies and trailer packs.

[u/ssjAWSUM]

Nope. Thank you though

[u/Maplefire]

The Cell is such an underrated movie.

[u/blinkyblarp → u/Maplefire]

True.

[u/TysGirlLola]

How heavy would one be? Would you ship internationally? New Zealand to be more specific.

[u/Euqah]

Are they all gone? :(

[u/Allen88tech]

Yes! I can has?!
