Did this venue ever screen anything in 70mm other than that one-week run of “Lawrence of Arabia” back in 2006?

MSC77 commented about Thruway 1 & 2 on Apr 18, 2023 at 8:06 pm

The overview lists a seat-count of 950. However, grand-opening newspaper coverage lists 780 as the seat count of this venue in its initial single-screen configuration. “New Thruway Theater Will Open Tonight,” Winston-Salem Journal, February 20, 1969, p27.

Anyone familiar with this theater know which figure is correct?

Gerald: The Providence Cinerama’s roadshow booking of Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” commenced May 29th (1968) and ran 20 weeks. I wrote about its roadshow release, including a comprehensive bookings chronology, at The Digital Bits for its 50th anniversary, here at Cinema Treasures for its 45th anniversary, and several years ago at In70mm.

Mikeoaklandpark: Thomas Hauerslev is the owner/editor of the In70mm .com website. I am one of the contributing editors and the one who did up the Atlantic City article we’ve been discussing here.

I will double check the ACP ads for the films in question, though it was only a few weeks ago I did the research and is still fresh in my mind whereas I’m guessing you’re basing your claim off of a 50-plus-year-old memory of looking at those ads?

MSC77 commented about Center Theatre on Apr 4, 2023 at 9:56 pm

Mikeoaklandpark: The ACP did NOT include any “70mm” presentations notations for the three titles in question at any point during their run (unless you consider as evidence the “Produced in Todd-AO” credit embedded in the artwork of “Doctor Dolittle” and “Airport”). And having a “gigantic curved screen” is not necessarily indicative of a 70mm presentation. Ever notice the photo of the Center’s marquee during the “Funny Girl” run also lacks any mention of 70mm? As well, I’ve not found any evidence the Hollywood Theater was 70mm equipped at any point in its life. What’s your evidence it was so equipped? (And don’t you realize the “they” you keep referring to is me?)

MSC77 commented about Cinema Imperial on Apr 4, 2023 at 9:43 pm

rivest266: The travelogues do not belong on the list. The travelogues were made in 3-panel Cinerama which is not the subject of my article. The subject of the article is 70mm.

Mikeoaklandpark: That is because “they” found no credible evidence to support what you are claiming.
