Showcase Presentations in Washington, DC
A Chronology of Large Format and Roadshow Exhibition, 1953-Present
Compiled by Michael Coate
A work-in-progress
.
Continuing the Showcase Presentations in
series, we now present: Washington, DC.
In this draft 70mm engagements that played at cinemas located in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs have not been included (but will possibly be added in a forthcoming revision). Also excluded are industry screening rooms such as the Motion Picture Association of Americas screening facility.
Showcase Presentations = Reserved-seat engagements
70-millimeter presentations
Cinerama presentations
Horizontal 8-perf VistaVision presentations
Six-track magnetic stereo
Regarding image: To simplify the presentation of the information, no distinction has been made between those movies originated in 70mm (65mm) and those originated in 35mm and blown up to 70mm. Such details can be found in numerous articles and reference material on this website (and elsewhere).
Regarding audio: The majority of the titles featured in this chronology showcased some flavor of six-track stereophonic sound. (The noted 35mm presentations used in some roadshow situations were often 4-track magnetic stereo or, in some cases, standard optical mono.) The 70mm prints issued from 1977 typically were encoded with Dolby Noise Reduction and often included baby boom low-frequency enhancement and occasionally split surrounds. Most of the recently-struck prints featured digital sound (DTS aka Datasat).
This project excludes IMAX and other Special Venue presentations. (They might be added in a forthcoming revision.) Pre-1950s era roadshows have also not been included.
The roadshows (i.e. reserved-seat engagements) have an asterisk after the applicable title.

Note that some of the presentations included in this listing were presented in 35mm during the latter week(s) of their engagement due to print damage and the distributors unwillingness to supply a 70mm replacement print or because the booking was moved to a smaller, 35mm-only 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 has been included in the duration figure.
