The charge was filed in U.S. district court last wreek, as part of a suit filed by Syufy a month ago. Accompanying the charge was a request for a temporary restraining order against Buena Vista and five other film distributors. Syufys original com- plaint stems from "blind bidding practices of ten companies, which require theater operators to bid for motion pictures before previewing the films. Buena Vista answered Syufys original complaint last month, including in its answer a list of interrogatories, demanding Syufy submit itemized reports of contracts with the court. Syufy lawyer, Lawrence Papaleof California, last week filed a response which claimed the Buena Vista requests were "vague, overbroad. overburdensome and since Buena harassing, Vista has Syufy contract records in its own files. Paple also filed a request for a hearing to consider a preliminary injunction against blind bidding until the outcome of a jury trial, and submitted a draft for a temporary restraining order against blind bidding. At press time Judge Aldon J. Anderson had not acted on the request, which specified Columbia Pictures "Close Encounter of a Third Kind as a target of the order. An affidavit was also filed last week by Syufy partner Jack R. Myhill citing the need for the restraining order. The affidavit claimed Syufy paid a total of more than $1.3 million ncorporated in guarantees for "The Other Side of Mid(Twentieth Century), night The Heretic (Warner Brothers), The Sorcerer (Universal; and "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (Buena Vista) prior to viewing the films, and asked for more time to analyze how blind bidding may have caused losses on these films. Other distributors named in the suit have until Aug. 26 to answer the charges. They are Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, who. together with Buena Vista, comprise about 80 percent of the film market available to theater operators. |
