What
follows is a chronology of 70mm six-track stereophonic sound feature-film
presentations in the Ann Arbor region of Michigan, USA.
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.
