The Most 70mm Prints In L.A.
During the 1980s
and '90s when mass-market, saturation release patterns was becoming the
industry norm and when more and more theatres were equipping for 70mm
presentation, studios began to oblige with large 70mm print runs for some of
their bigger productions. This meant that audiences would not need to drive
in to the big city in order to experience a 70mm presentation (unlike during
the roadshow era); many theatres in the surrounding counties were playing a
film in 70mm simultaneous with Los Angeles. Those releases with about ten or
more 70mm prints distributed throughout the Los Angeles metro area include
the following:
2010 (1984)
The Abyss (1989)
