 The
group of cinemas equipped with the DP70 is very long and impressive. Many of
the words most prestigious cinemas had the Rolls-Royce of 70mm projectors
installed.Originally Philips Cinema kept very detailed lists of all cinemas with the DP70. The Philips company advertised the machine heavily in all major markets. The following lists are the backbone of this DP70 directory: International Projectionist, December 1959. The ELAgraph vol. 6 no 5 from November 1960 (110 cinemas in the States and 130 cinemas outside the States): Installations indicated with “*”. Norelco, the North American Philips Company, issued a list dated January 16, 1964: Installations indicated with “»”. Installations not mentioned in above mentioned official brochures or lists have no marking. Additionally, where available, I have noted how many projectors each cinema had, as well as information about screen size, number of seats, technical equipment, Cinerama & Cinemiracle and information about speakers, sound formats etc. For many cinemas the number of seats reflects how many seats the cinema had on the day of DP70 installation. Seating capacity information of early US cinemas is based on Motion Picture Almanac 1961 and Variety. |

Which is the longest running DP70? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Most of the original cinemas does not exist any longer. They have either
been rebuilt or demolished. If they still exists, it is unusual to find
the DP70s still installed. In one case, however, that is possible. The
Imperial Bio in Copenhagen, Denmark, still have a pair of machines
installed. They have been running continuously since 1 November 1961.
Surely a world record - now in its 48th year of service. |
