The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
engagements of “Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan” in the United States and
Canada. These were the best cinemas in which to experience this motion
picture.
“Greystoke” was among sixteen confirmed first-run films released in 1984
with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Warner Bros. release —
directed by High Hudson and starring Ralph Richardson, Ian Holm, James Fox,
Christopher Lambert and Andie MacDowell — opened March 30th.
The 70mm prints of “Greystoke” featured full-frame imagery blown up from
Super-35 and Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A” encoded “baby boom” format).
Warner Bros. circulated 70mm coming-attraction trailers for “Cannonball Run
II,” “Grandview, USA,” “Gremlins,” “Irreconcilable Differences,” “Once Upon
a Time in America,” “Purple Rain,” “Swing Shift” and “Tightrope” during the
release of “Greystoke.” As well, other studios circulated 70mm trailers
during this period. Ultimately, the 70mm trailers, if any, seen during the
70mm presentations of “Greystoke” varied by venue and screening.
The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) has been included in
parenthesis following the cinema name.
CALIFORNIA
Los Angeles — Mann’s Chinese Triplex (8)
Los Angeles — Mann’s National (5)
San Francisco — UA’s Coronet (10)
San Jose — Syufy’s Century 21 (10)
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Washington — Circle’s Uptown (9)
GEORGIA
Atlanta — Columbia (8)
ILLINOIS
Chicago — Center’s McClurg Court (9)
NEW YORK
New York — Cinema 5’s Beekman (9)
New York — Cinema 5’s Murray Hill (9)
New York — Moss’ Criterion Center 6-plex (9)
ONTARIO
Toronto — Famous Players’ Eglinton (10)
Note that some of the presentations included in this listing may have been
presented in 35mm during the latter week(s) of engagement due to contractual
terms or 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. 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, any
35mm portion of the engagement (or movement out of a branded auditorium) has
been included in the duration figure.
