Author Topic: where's dunkirk playing in 35mm? Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-10-2017 07:23 PM                        between these forums, fandango, and other sites, it's pretty easy at this point to figure out where it's showing in 5/70 and 15/70. where are the supposed 35mm prints going? some fandango listings don't say 70mm, imax, or digital on them, but i'd take that at best as a "maybe". i'd heard my old theater, the california in berkeley, had it coming in 35 but they're not listing it in any format as yet. (yes, i'll ask them again about it.) have dunkirk booked in 35mm at your theater? know for a fact someone else is showing it? list it here. my interest is mainly in the san francisco bay and los angeles areas, but consider this a global question.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 07-10-2017 10:58 PM                     I'd love to say Hyland Cinema London Ontario Canada. I pitched our theater to Warner as a great place to send a 35mm print but they only responded with. "Duly noted thank you". Doing the same pitch to Fox for a 35mm print of Orient Express. Yes I'm trying to eventually upgrade to 70mm but it's a daunting thing when you're the only one at the theater who cares about it.  |  IP: Logged Alexandre Pereira Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2016 posted 07-10-2017 11:03 PM                        I asked Warner here in Toronto for 35mm and they said there were no 35mm prints only 70mm of Dunkirk. For the Interstellar release there were 35mm prints and I played it at the Kingsway. I hope there are 35mm - I asked for 70mm but of course only CP gets that. Varsity will play it on 70mm in Toronto.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 07-11-2017 09:46 AM                     There are 35mm prints of "Dunkirk". I'm aware of at least two theaters here in San Francisco that are considering running it on film. But I've heard, through second-hand sources, that the 'terms' for getting one of the 35 prints are pretty strict, especially in regards to making a commitment to a certain number of shows & days. But, again, this is second-hand info, albeit from someone who has been pretty accurate in the past. At least one of these theater owners who could get a 35 print is probably going to 'pass', since he doesn't want to tie up an auditorium for the amount of time that the distributor is apparently asking. (and, of course, there's almost nobody left on his staff who can actually RUN 35mm- - so he'd have to hire in a temporary projectionist. - - - I can't do it. I'll be over 1000mi away running 70mm somewhere)  |  IP: Logged Anthony Benavides Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Laredo, Texas, USA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 07-12-2017 12:18 AM                     The Alamo Drafthouse locations, aside from Austin, in the San Antonio and Laredo area (where I'm the projectionist at) are screening Dunkirk in 35mm.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-12-2017 08:37 PM                        quote: Alexandre Pereira I asked Warner here in Toronto for 35mm and they said there were no 35mm prints The onesheet mentions 35mm.

The one in Lubbock is scheduled to run it in 35mm July 20 through 23 at 7PM.  |  IP: Logged Anthony Benavides Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Laredo, Texas, USA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 07-14-2017 08:06 PM                     Laredo will have 35mm showings after 6pm Thursday and Friday with a full 35mm day on Saturday, matinee 35mm showings on Sunday and one 7pm 35mm showing everyday during the week. I believe the showtimes vary by market.
