Are any films shot on 70mm film anymore? Is so, please name some contemporary releases.
Why has 70mm usage dwindled? Is it really that much more expensive, or is there just not enough of a benefit to using a film cell that's four times as large as a 35mm cell?
I wonder how many movie theaters even have 70mm projectors anymore. I'm guessing that none of the new slew of umpteen-screen stadium multiplexes have them, and maybe since a lot, or most, of the distributed copies would have to be duplicated in reduced size is the reason it's not used much now.
