 “One Battle After Another”
opens in 70mm in
Chicago. Picture:
Dan HowardProjected in VistaVision • Warner Brothers will release the film in authentic 35mm 8-perf VistaVision in four cinemas. One in Europe, and three in the US. Three places will be equipped with Ballantynes version of a "sidewinder" projector, and a fourth (Boston) will be with Century projectors as seen recently at the TCL Chinese in Hollywood. Newly-built oversized non-rewind 'Mega'-Platters have been developed by Film-Tech, to hold the long amount of film necessary to contain the entire movie in one piece. No need for reel changes in playback. Brad Miller says:
Sound will be
DTS (DATASAT)
audio, with the
changes being that
the time code is
outside the
perforations, and
the subwoofer
channel audio is
discrete. Unlike the
way it's been done
before in which the
subwoofer audio was
derived out of the
LE and/or RE
channels. |

Boston Light & Sound Inc. Installs VistaVision at
the Coolidge Corner Theatre
|
|
 The
Bostonians are lucky having BLSI nearby, and the hugely talented Mr Jonathan
Kleefeld who is playing a mighty Würlitzer organ (not at the
Coolidge Corner Theatre, however).
Mr. Kleefeld is even properly dressed for the 2025 projection of 8-perf
VistaVision nearby.SEPTEMBER 16, 2025 The Coolidge Corner theatre in Brookline Ma in cooperation with Warner Brothers Pictures have selected Boston Light & Sound Inc. to provide VistaVision projection services for the hotly anticipated Paul Thomas Anderson feature “One Battle After Another” opening first on film at the Coolidge Wednesday September 24th at 7pm one of only four locations worldwide to see the film in its native format BL&S and The Coolidge are using projectors believed to be the first two prototype machines made by century projector corp. in 1953 to show the format which were provided from the George Eastman museum collection and fully restored including the fabrication of custom parts and packaged into a complete system including updated electronics and control system by Boston Light & Sound who presented the first known VistaVision presentations for the general public at this years TCM Classic Film Festival in 60 years and is supervising the installation at the Coolidge. Working with the Coolidge is nothing new for BL&S having been their service provider and projection and sound consultant on their recent expansion "they were the obvious choice to partner with and we feel they are the best in the business" said Nick Lazaro technical director at the Coolidge Corner theatre. BL&S has also had a long history working with Warner Brothers Pictures on 70mm releases like Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" in 2017 and the World Premiere of Greta Gerwg's "Barbie" in 2024. VistaVision also nothing new to BL&S having installed these same machines provided by the Eastman Museum for two sold out special presentations at the TCL Chinese theatre in Los Angeles for years past TCM Classic Film Festival. The presentation at the Coolidge will be extra special as it is the first VistaVision installation to screen the film with its full "7.1" soundtrack featuring 8 discreet digital audio channels. "With the system we are supplying at the Coolidge we had the opportunity to utilize this technology to playback the full 7.1 mix" According to Sean McKinnon Director of specialty presentations and AV integration at Boston Light & Sound. "Our team has been hard at work making sure that Paul Thomas Anderson and The Coolidge have the best presentation possible for this once in a lifetime opportunity" • The Coolidge Corner Theatre • The George Eastman Museum • blsi.com |
