Hopefully, the BD will have both the roadshow and theatrical versions.

Everything perfect.
I'm pecking at my phone on the train, so more later.
Peter Apruzzese said:Go to the Regal E-Walk, I know the projectionist there and he's working hard at keeping it looking really good. By all accounts, the only thing lacking there is screen masking. He's reported no issues with focus or scratching.
Yes, the Regal was set up with a platter system for this run. Same as 35mm but with 70mm parts and requiring special timing of the decks to accommodate the weight of the print. The platter theatres received their prints built up in advance, otherwise they would also have had to locate 70mm splicers, makeup table, rewinds, and the like.Charles Smith said:Intermission!

Perhaps someone can explain how this film handling system worked. Is it a platter system like those for 35mm? I know the reel(s) were to include ten minutes black film which would be kept running through the intermission.
People have reported hearing the projector running in some of the theaters. I can certainly remember that in some theaters over the years, but from my seat in this theater, I heard nothing.
