Looks like the new Beetlejuice movie was released as a telesync. I thought they were a thing of the past!

Might have to make a new post about this:

How are there still cams if there’s been anti-piracy watermarks reported on since at least 2006?

Maybe the pirates never hit the same theater twice in a row… travel to different cities… only record at any given theater once every few years… then you’d need resources to catch somebody I’d guess.

I expect not all theaters can afford to send guys in with night vision goggles:

Maybe that’s outdated now since they can just throw up IR cameras:

Corrupt theater manager or shifty projectionist: no camera/security concerns, but still watermark concerns

Regular theatergoer: both camera/security concerns AND watermark concerns

Gutsy pirates out there!
