On this date 25 years ago DTS premiered with Jurassic Park. Fun fact…Universal owned a stake in Cineplex Odeon, whom many of its theaters had DTS installed. It became a huge hit.

35 years ago return of the Jedi debuted in a thx certified dolby stereo 70mm screen. One of the first two thx theaters in America. The other in Texas. Years later lucasfilm sold thx to creative of sound blaster fame and then Razer bought THX. Without THX there would’ve not been premium formats that were calibrated by the audio companies like dolby cinema imax and others. Here’s the trailer that was shown before the movie began called wings…https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wDOy7VlYYFE
35 years ago tomorrow at midnight marked the first ever showing of return of the Jedi in 70mm six track dolby stereo. It became the fastest star wars movie to earn $250 million during its original run.
I don’t mind scratches. I remember going to see reissues of movies like Star Wars and countless Disney films and those had some scratches even if the film was restored. 2001 marks one of the first instances that a reissued film is being shown the way Kubrick intended it to be after the world premiere for theatrical release. Remember Kubrick cut about 20 or so minutes from the footage days after a few people saw the original version so that the pace sped up a bit. When i first saw 2001 on vhs it cut straight to Jupiter (this was from a 1980 print) and didn’t have the entrace music and intermission music. The digital HD version that i bought on Itunes includes that and also has the film in its 2:20.1 ratio. This films was one of the last pre-MPAA rating movies before the fall of 1968 when the ratings went into effect. 2001 would soon be rated G, just like the first Planet of the Apes movie, so that people of all ages could see this masterpiece. What Nolan is doing to this 50th anniversary reissue is quite unique. I wish more theatres would show this 70mm unrestored version.
http://www.cmdgroup.com/building-types/movies/new-jersey/projects/1000428238/ here’s a link to the theater back when loews cineplex was working on it years before the amc merger. I saw avengers in regular format in theater #7 near the Imax. Decent crowd. Seats are still uncomfy despite moving my feet up and down. One thing I noticed during the preshow is that people can use their phones and play AR games with an app which is pretty cool. The masking was a bit off though yet the projection and sound mix was great.
Was the soundtrack the original six track from 1968 or the 5.1 remix?
The loews theatres logos are removed and the amc sign is now on display. Construction is going well.
Both theaters are very similar in that AMC owns them. After they renovate 19th street they should renovate orpheum and this theater…

Did you take LSD while watching the movie? LOL….
Which is crap compared to real film.
Happy 85th!!! When did it close and what became of it?
Looking at old newspaper ads from the old movie ads twitter account it’s true that cinema 35 had mono sound.
Same weekend as incredibles ii.
This coming November will mark 55 years since it’s opening…it was ahead of its time and it predated Omnimax!!!

Yes. The Dolby digital was soon retired when the digital projection equipment was installed.

This coming December 16th will mark 30 years since it opened. Why was the project delayed?
