The fact that it happened in more than one theater [In reply to] Can't Post

suggests that the theaters are not to blame. Digital copies of movies have to be "ingested" into the digital projector, which can be a complicated process involving "keys" (elaborate passwords) and so on.

It is most likely that the distributor, that is, Warner Bros., is to blame for not shipping the hard drives with the intro early enough to reach theaters. That said, it's rather mysterious why they would do so, since this is the core activity of their business. It might be that Peter did not get the intro recorded soon enough for the copies to be shipped out. Which is not like him, but it's possible.

In short, your local exhibitor probably is very upset about not having the intro and doesn't deserve to get complaints. It happened somewhere up the line.
