These prints are created and paid for by the film's distributor<br /><br />Since each film is handled on a case-by-case basis by the distributor, there is no one single way to distribute a film across a wide geographic area. Often the majority of the prints end up in major metropolitan areas where the greatest number of people live, thereby providing the highest potential ticket sales. However, prints are often set aside for more rural areas as well. The bigger the distributor and distribution budget, the more penetration you will have over a wide geographic area.<br /><br />Smaller films with small print and advertising (P&A) budgets will occasionally release "in select cities", which essentially equates to only the major metropolitan areas such as New York and Los Angeles. If the film does well, the distributor can create additional prints and release "nationwide" or "everywhere".<br /><br />Digital distribution has added another factor in that often the "prints" are transferred electronically from the distributor directly to the theater, though on occasion they are still delivered on computer hard drives, or a series of recordable media like DVD-R.Greg Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812331081342475989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714928817139626421.post-12258775503634105292009-12-17T16:24:02.865-05:002009-12-17T16:24:02.865-05:00Say, does each print go to a regional zone under w...Say, does each print go to a regional zone under which all theatres duplicate it digitally from??.. Wondered so because I'm from India, we alone have more than 13000 screens; and a film here, which takes out 2000 prints for a Worldwide release, is said to have made a record!.. Who buys these prints then??.. How is it that the remotest of towns and their theatres get the movie on its release date??..Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769800985932802628noreply@blogger.com
