I'm glad I wasn't old enough to see TESB in 1980 because at only 126 theaters, I'd have been waiting until June 18 when TESB hit 35mm to see it because no way would my parents have driven the 40-ish miles to Allentown or Philadelphia to see it. Maybe I could have whined my way into King Of Prussia but that would have been a long shot.
I was lucky enough to see Empire in 70mm on opening day, in Edison, NJ, and again opening weekend at the Murray Hill Theater in NYC. The New York audience was one of the best I’ve ever been part of.
