 The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
presentations of “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” in North America. The
film’s 70mm prints consisted of full-frame imagery blown up from anamorphic
35mm photography. The audio was Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A” encoded “baby
boom” format). These were arguably the best cinemas in which to experience
this film.“Star Trek II” was among eighteen confirmed first-run films released in 1982 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Paramount release — directed by Nicholas Meyer and starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Ricardo Montalban — opened June 4th. Sixty-eight 70mm prints of the film were reportedly struck for distribution in North America (and several more for international). The duration of these engagements (measured in weeks) has for some entries been included in parenthesis following the cinema name. Note that some of the presentations included in this listing were presented in 35mm during the latter week(s) of engagement due to print damage and the distributor’s unwillingness to supply a 70mm replacement print or because the booking was moved to a smaller, 35mm-only auditorium within a multiplex. As well, the reverse may have been true in some cases whereas a booking began with a 35mm print because the lab was unable to complete the 70mm print order in time for an opening-day delivery or the exhibitor negotiated a mid-run switch to 70mm. In these cases, the 35mm portion of the engagement has been included in the duration figure.
