I wonder why the Hellman Theater apparently stopped being or advertising itself as a Cinerama house after the 3-strip enagements, especially as it showed “Grand Prix” and “2001” on a roadshow basis. Was its curved screen perhaps removed after “HTWWW”?
The Twin Drive-In in Cincinnati opened a 3-strip engagement of WINDJAMMER 2 weeks after the showing at the Super 50. So, there must have been at least 2 portable units out there showing WINDJAMMER. I’ve never seen any other engagements listed, and would be VERY interested if it showed at any other drive-ins in 3-strip. These were almost 3 years before the CINERAMA engagements at the Century Drive-In in LA.
