There are two coming up in LA that are mentioned in this thread. Presumably there will be others as Warner works with local rep theaters and film bookers to firm up dates.
The final sequence was optically altered to avoid an X rating. As far as I remember from the special features on the Blu release, the original unaltered footage does not survive.
The audio issue they fixed was that the mono track wasn’t the original, it was a fold down of the 5.1 remix so it had new and incorrect sound effects (a faucet squeak in the shower scene is the example most cited). The fixed pressing has the correct original mono track, but they did not fix the...

I'm assuming you went through the test tones to set the speaker levels. If you didn't, that should be something to do. Also, after setting those levels, you can raise the center a couple of notches so that it can cut through some of the louder soundtracks. It's not ideal, but it can help.
