The Most 70mm Prints In New York
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 just to see a 70mm
presentation (unlike during the roadshow era); many of the New York City
boroughs and surrounding metro area cities were playing a film in 70mm
simultaneous with Manhattan. Those releases with about ten or more 70mm
prints distributed throughout the NYC metro area include the following:
“2010”
“The Abyss”
“Aliens”
“Brainstorm”
“A Chorus Line”
“Cocoon”
“Dick Tracy”
“Dune”
“Empire Of The Sun”
“The Empire Strikes Back”
“Far And Away”
“Hoffa”
“Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade”
“Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom”
“The Mission”
“Quest For Fire”
“Return Of The Jedi”
“Silverado”
