| Compiled by: Michael Coate | Date: 20.03.2023 | “They are the most powerful members of our community. They have a shattering secret. A secret that will affect us all. Only one man is willing to stop them. Now, you can know who they really are.”
The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter engagements of “The Star Chamber” in the United States and Canada. These were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience this motion picture.
“The Star Chamber” was among thirteen confirmed first-run films released in 1983 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The 20th Century Fox release — directed by Peter Hyams (“Capricorn One,” “Outland”) and starring Michael Douglas, Hal Holbrook, Yaphet Kotto and Sharon Gless — opened August 5th.
The 70mm prints of “The Star Chamber” featured Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A” encoded Baby Boom format) and full-frame imagery blown up from anamorphic 35mm.
Fox circulated 70mm Six-Track Dolby coming-attraction trailers for “All the Right Moves,” “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence,” “To Be or Not to Be” and “Two of a Kind” during the release of “The Star Chamber.” Other studios circulated 70mm trailers during this period, as well. Ultimately, any 70mm trailers screened during 70mm presentations of “The Star Chamber” varied by venue and screening.
The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) is included in parenthesis following the cinema name.
