“Funny Girl” ran for 61 weeks at the Egyptian Theatre. During that time it was the last true long run there.
The top six long run 70MM Roadshow engagements at the Egyptian were:
“Ben-Hur” @ 98 weeks, “My Fair Lady” @ 68 weeks, “Funny Girl” @ 61 weeks, “Hawaii” @ 52 weeks, “Oklahoma!” @ 51 weeks and “South Pacific” @ 44 weeks.
the history of the theater at the top of the page says the
run of “FUNNY GIRL” was the last of the long run roadshow films
to play the Egyptian. does that mean “FUNNY GIRL” was the
last roadshow film to play the Egyptian or simply the last
roadshow film to have a healthy run? i ask this question
because the studios didn’t abandon the roadshow policy till
December of 1972.
Hey, Penway, it’s “achangeinscenery” from Flickr. Nice to see you on the Cinema Treasures boards!

Anyone know the seat count of the II of III?
When UA opened the Egyptian II & III next door in 1972, it opened with “Skyjacked” & “The Carey Treatment” in #2 and “The French Connection” & “The Detective” in #3.
Thanks!
Great nighttime shot of the EGYPTIAN vertical Monika.
Some good stories Folks.Thanks for taking the time to write them down for those of us that never got the experience of the Egyptian.

Life’s too short….The interior photo is incorrectly attributed to the Egyptian Theatre Hollywood. It is actually a photo of the interior of Peery’s Egyptian Theater, Ogden, Utah, which has a page on CT here: /theaters/238/
I am confused.
About 1/3 of the way down on this page is an interior photo with caption of Hollywood Egyptian:

However, I was under the impression that they did not put the original stage archway back during renovation. Can anyone clarify?
Nice photos.
