What follows is a chronology of 70mm six-track stereophonic sound feature-film presentations in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

The focus of this work is 5-perf 70mm feature films and the cinemas in which they were exhibited. Short subjects, IMAX, special venue presentations, etc., have not been included. A 70mm presentation provided a superior projection and audio experience in comparison to same motion picture’s 35mm presentation.
