 The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
engagements of “Kong: Skull Island” in the United States and Canada. “Kong: Skull Island” was among six first-run films released in 2017 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Warner Bros. release — directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (“The Kings of Summer”) and starring Ton Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Tian Jing, John Ortiz, Terry Notary and John C. Reilly— opened March 10th. The 70mm prints of “Kong: Skull Island” featured Datasat audio and 2.20:1 full-frame imagery sourced from ARRIRAW and anamorphic 35mm. Where known, the duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) is included in parenthesis following the cinema name. CALIFORNIA Los Angeles — ArcLight Hollywood 14 (1+) Los Angeles — ArcLight Sherman Oaks 14 (1+) Oakland — Grand Lake 4 (6) MINNESOTA Plymouth — Willow Creek 12 (4) NEW YORK New York — Cinema 1,2,3 (3) QUEBEC Montreal — Cinema Banque Scotia 13 (1+) TEXAS Dallas — Look Cinemas 11 (1+) WASHINGTON Seattle — Cinerama (1+)  Note that some of the presentations included in this listing may have
been presented in 35mm or DCP 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.SUBSEQUENT 70MM ENGAGEMENTS & SCREENINGS 2017-07-10 … Chicago, IL — Music Box 2017-07-11 … Chicago, IL — Music Box 2017-07-15 … Chicago, IL — Music Box 2018-09-22 … Somerville, MA — Somerville International 70mm engagements of this title have not been accounted for in this work.
