Typically, DCPs would arrive at a theater the day before a movie previews. Physical delivery takes time, even domestically. Our source close to production told us it is unlikely that the international version will be replaced with the updated animations/sound. Here, another one that becomes obvious: A DCP delivered via satellite is far easier to update. There are obvious advantages to satellite delivery, including speed. A DCP can also be delivered via satellite or terrestrial means, if the conditions (a theater’s physical location and its surroundings) are receptive. That agent then delivered the package to individual theaters.īy the way, don’t let the “digital” fool you here: Many DCPs are still delivered in a physical package. A film’s distributor, in this case Sony, delivered a DCP (Digital Cinema Package) to a buying agent in each territory. Knowing how it generally works, here’s how it probably played out. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” Sony Pictures Animation
We also reached out to Lord’s personal rep, but did not immediately hear back. The multiverse is confusing.Īlso a bit murky: How many of the people pointing out the differences actually watched the film - intently - both in a United States theater and again in another country, all within the three weeks this “Spider-Verse” has been out? Unfortunately, piracy probably explains much of that.Īmong the questions we sent to Sony was if it is possible the non-updated international version is (or was) being screened in some spots in the U.S. Some theaters maybe didn’t get (or read) the memo.Īnother piece that’s currently unclear (we asked) is if Sony’s updated prints intended to rectify the volume issue reflected the update that ultimately divided the (old) international print with the (new) current domestic print. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” was mixed at Volume 7, Lord wrote on Twitter. At the time, writer/producer Phil Lord said it was an issue with theaters’ volume levels.
Sony rectified the issue with an updated version. While “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” opened June 2 to a whopping $120 million opening weekend, some moviegoers complained they could not hear the dialogue in the first scene. But which? That was one of our several questions to Sony, though we did not immediately hear back. That could be from a failure to update an early for-translation-purposes-only print, or just good, old-fashioned running out of time to make a deadline. What’s not normal is that several of the last-minute changes failed to make it from the Los Angeles editing lab into the film’s screened international version. Here’s what happened: Sony shipped out the international version of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” early for translation purposes, a person close to production told IndieWire.
