Has anyone seen the digital theatrical showing of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS that's playing this weekend?
That poster was for the reissue in the 80s. The current DCP is correctly formatted to 1.85.bujaki said:I was planning to go see this at my local Cinemark theater, but the poster scared me off. It advertised the film in Super VistaVision and Stereophonic sound. This is not the way it was released in 1956, when I saw it. Super VistaVision crops the film severely. So, what I'd like to know is whether the DCP is in the film's OAR of 1.85, as is the BD release.
Do Cinemark theaters project film anymore? Or 70mm?Roger Grodsky said:Anyone know if BEN-HUR will also be DCP?
Not sure about Cinemark specifically.Steve Tannehill said:Do Cinemark theaters project film anymore? Or 70mm?
I haven't seen a 70mm anything for a while (not including Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master", which was 2012 I believe). But when I saw "Spartacus" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70mm in 2003 I think it was, they were in pretty good shape.Steve Tannehill said:I can't answer that specific question, but I can say the 70mm prints I've seen for special revivals were well travelled and very worn. This was in the 90's.
Our Cinemark at Legacy is all 4K digital.Steve Tannehill said:Do Cinemark theaters project film anymore? Or 70mm?
Yes, around 15 minutes. Which was great because I really had to pee.Wayne_j said:Was there an actual break for intermission? That movie is incredibly long if there isn't.
The only theater showing it in the Cincinnati area was a new Cinemark, so it is all digital, but they seem to try to present things as best they can. All of the AMCs are now digital-only, but none here seem to be showing the "classic" series.Steve Tannehill said:Do Cinemark theaters project film anymore? Or 70mm?
