When it comes to THX, it should be noted that the largest auditorium was the first European cinema to be equipped with a THX sound system in 1986, using JBL amplifiers and speakers.
For Ben-Hur, The Versailles got equipped in 70mm with projectors leased from MGM. But the theater gave back the projectors after the long Ben-Hur run. It 1978 it played Battlestar Galactica in Sensurround.
To KenRoe:
Yes, this beautiful building was originally built as a cinema. In fact, the front of the Churchill is the side exit of the Forum (/theaters/28534/) and the Churchill cinema was built in the basement of the forum. When there is a rock concert at the Forum, you can sometimes hear the vibrations of the music during quiet moments of projection at the Churchill. A bit annoying, but it’s OK.
The Churchill is a delight for film fans for whom correct projection is a must. All screens have proper adjustable screen masking. The largest auditorium really has a very big screen (for the size of the auditorium) and projectors are equipped to show all ratios 1.37 / 1.66 / 1.85 / Scope. It also has Dolby Digital and DTS.
