| | “Logan’s Run”: The 70mm Engagements “Welcome to the 23rd Century. The only thing you can’t have in this perfect world of total pleasure is your 30th birthday. Logan is 29.” | Read more at in70mm.com The 70mm Newsletter
| Compiled by: Michael Coate | Date: 19.06.2016 | The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter presentations of “Logan’s Run ” in North America. These were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience this motion picture.
“Logan’s Run” was among four confirmed first-run films released in 1976 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. Approximately two-dozen 70mm prints of the film were struck for distribution in North America. The MGM (though United Artists) release — directed by Michael Anderson and starring Michael York and Jenny Agutter — opened June 23rd (except where noted otherwise).
The 70mm prints of “Logan’s Run” featured full-frame imagery blown up from anamorphic 35mm and a dual inventory of Dolby* and non-Dolby-encoded discrete six-track stereophonic sound. (*A few of the prints—noted in the listing below—were encoded with Dolby Noise Reduction, the first known usage of Dolby in connection with the 70mm format.)
Pre-release screenings included a sneak preview held May 7th at Valley Circle in San Diego. (The sneak preview/test screening reportedly included “laser-beam holography to produce a three-dimensional image” and Dolby-encoded audio.)
The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) is included in parenthesis following the cinema name.
