I saw GWTW in 70mm and agree but I think they could print it 70mm and leave it in the academy ratio and you would have a very sharp square picture but the whole idea was to simulate widescreen.

Notice Loews is pried off the marquee and the vertical must have ended as an indie

This is great news. I just hope they are more successful then the Plaza in Corona that tried a similar idea.

I finally dug out and scanned some pics of the Columbia from a night it hosted a live bodybuilding show.
