It seems the going rate is between $.12 and $.20 a foot. With obviously 
higher prices available too, for the big budget productions.

Some do wet gate, though some do not recommend that. Some clean the 
film first, others do not. Some color correct, some do not. Some 
project onto a wall/substrate, some focus on a lense that the film is 
projected into.

Lots of variables for the price.

Lastly, you have to consider if you want to send invaluable film off 
into the ether and trust that it will get back to you. Which brings 
local telecine shops into focus.
