The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter presentations of “Boogie Nights.” These screenings offer moviegoers a unique opportunity to re-experience the film in a rare, after-the-fact 70mm print. The Warner Bros. release was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson ("The Master", "Licorice Pizza" ) and featured the ensemble of Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Heather Graham, Nicole Parker and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The film’s original release in 1997—through New Line—was 35mm with digital sound [Dolby Digital and SDDS]. The new 70mm print(s) of “Boogie Nights” features Datasat audio and full-frame imagery (2.20:1) blown up from anamorphic 35mm (directly from the film’s original camera negative). 2022-12-05 … Burbank, CA — Warner Bros./Steven J.
