Download Trailer 2 for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023)

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023)I am still here. I have just been unusually busy with my day job, but things are starting to get back to normal. I have a few items to update you on.

As you may recall, this site used to have a collection of Dolby® trailers. Back in January/February the site was taken offline due to a cease and desist order from Dolby® claiming a trademark violation. As a result, all of these trailers, along with DTS®, IMAX® and THX® trailers were removed from the site. Please do not ask me for any of these as I will not share them with you. This seems to correspond to roughly a 10% reduction in page views. That is not so bad, but it also seems to have corresponded to a 70% reduction in ad revenue. It seems a bit weird, but perhaps traffic from more ad revenue generating regions were looking for those demo trailers. But overall, it looks like the region with the biggest drop was India – which is on the very low end of the ad market.

This is all to say that this site – and many others – rely on ad revenue to fund their operation. If you use an ad blocker, please whitelist this site and any others that you enjoy.

You may have noticed that the trailers for the Super Mario Bros.® movie, along with posts and references have been removed. This is because of a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notification that Universal sent Google Ad Sense. Getting a DMCA notice is nothing new, and I have counter claimed those successfully in the past. The issue was always related to the trailer being mistaken for a download of the actual movie. And those takedown notifications were always focused on search results, or the actual files themselves. This DMCA was directed to the Ad serving, which allowed the content to remain, but no ads to be served. This is hugely concerning. If this is they way that the copyright holders move forward, then there will be no ad revenue and likely no website unless another model can be worked out.

And lastly, Twitter has disallowed the API that I use to do a simultaneous posting to my Twitter account. As a result, I will be doing a manual posts going forward. Another thing to add to the list of things that take additional time.

Now, on to the main topic of the day! The second trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023) has been added. And there are 4K and 1080p versions with the official 5.1 audio. There does not seem to be a lot of additional info, so I don’t think there are any real spoilers. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One will be in theaters on July 12. Coincidentally, it was one year ago today that I posted the first trailer, which you can also find at the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One (2023) page.

Download Trailer 1 for Air (2023)

Air (2023)

There was a time when Converse shoes were all the rage and nobody knew who Michael Jordan was. Air (2023) tells the story of shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon) and how he brought Nike and Michael Jordan together in what would become one of the most successful brand partnerships in marketing history.

Amazon Studios in partnership with Warner Bros. and Skydance bring Air (2023) to theaters April 5. Air is directed by Ben Affleck and stars Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Ben Affleck, Chris Tucker and Jason Bateman.

I originally planned to have a 4K version of this trailer, but the 4K source was a 1.85:1 picture in a 2.39:1 container. The result is an image that is padded with black bars on the sides, and the actual image had a width of 3175 pixels. That is more like 3K. Since that would be weird, I scaled it to 1920×1038 which is a normal HD pixel size for a 1.85:1 aspect ratio trailer. Normally a 1.85:1 picture in 4K would be 3996×2160 for DCI or 3840×2076 non DCI.

That is why this website is here. It is here to give you movie trailers that are made for optimal playback in your home cinema. I go to great lengths to preserve the quality of the master material in a format that is compatible on a wide range of devices. If this is important to you, please disable your ad blocker, check out some Air Jordans on Amazon, or order a custom trailer from The Digital Theater Shop, or if you want you can make a donation to cover the costs of keeping The Digital Theater up and running. Your support is appreciated.

Go over to the Air (2023) and get the trailer.

Operation Fortune

Back in December 2021, I posted (and it may not be as good of quality as I am doing today) the trailer for https://thedigitaltheater.com/2021/12/28/operation-fortune-ruse-de-guerre-2022-trailer-1-lossless-1080p-dts-hd-ma-and-ac3-5-1/ which was due to be released in March 2022. Directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Jason Statham, it was moved to March 3, 2023, which is in two days! If you have not already checked out that trailer you should do so.

Download 4K IMAX Trailer 2 for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

I just updated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) page with the IMAX version of Trailer 2. It certainly has a different look, rather stark at times with contrasting vibrant colors. As indicated this is the IMAX version which is in a 1.89:1 aspect ratio. In addition to the 4K versions, I also encoded a couple 1080p HD versions for those who have trouble playing back 4K. Those are in the standard AVC codec.

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 arrives in theaters on May 5th, 2023.

In an effort to make things easier to find on the site, I have added a search box to the page header. Simply type in the name of the movie and you will get all the posts and pages that reference it. Give it a try.

I have two more updates planned for this week.

Download 4K Trailer 2 for Oppenheimer (2023)

Oppenheimer (2023)

The second trailer for Oppenheimer (2023) is fantastic. This one was screened when I went to see Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) in IMAX. There is great use of the surrounds, especially with what I believe is the sound of a Geiger Counter, which actually are not as expensive as I thought they would be. I do not have a 2.2:1 aspect ratio version of this trailer but if I find one I will certainly add it to the Oppenheimer (2023) page.

I have a lot more to post, it just takes time to do them. And since I really only have some evenings where I have spare time it sometimes takes longer to get things done than I would like. In the case of this new trailer for Oppenheimer it took nearly four hours to do all the encodes, muxing audio, syncing, quality checking, uploading, adding to the page and writing a post. It takes a lot longer than most realize.

I am going to get started on the international version of Fast X Trailer 1 which will have the 5.1 audio track. If all goes well, it will be up tomorrow night.
