 The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
presentations of “Titanic” in North America. These were the best cinemas in
which to experience the film. “Titanic” was the only first-run film released in 1997 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Lightstorm Entertainment production and Paramount/20th Century Fox release — directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet — opened December 19th. The 70mm prints of “Titanic” featured DTS audio and full-frame imagery blown up from Super-35. For the release of “Titanic”, Paramount & Fox employed the services of Lucasfilm’s Theatre Alignment Program (TAP) to evaluate and approve the cinemas selected to book a 70mm print. Seventy-millimeter trailers for “Deep Impact”, “Hard Rain”, “The Odd Couple II” and “The Truman Show” circulated during the release of “Titanic” and which the distributor recommended be screened with the presentation. The duration of the 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 non-70mm-equipped auditorium within a multiplex. Any 35mm portion of the engagement (or movement out of a THX-certified auditorium) has been included in the duration figure.
