Well, what is the final count? My calendar gives May 4th as the date, so we've passed the 5/1/02 deadline... is someone holding out on us, or did I miss something...

Besides, I just can't wait to find out how wrong I was with my guess of 35!

I don't think we can have an accurate count until it opens on May 16th.

I talked to Ted. The count is still unofficial. He will post it as soon as it is set in stone.

Maybe the count will go down some. I just talked to a theatre manager here in Denver who has the capability of running Star Wars with DLP, but it was canceled last minute due to George's "20 week contract." Is there really a 20 week agreement?

From what I hear from management-types and our resident Tech/Film Buff, we only have a 12 week agreement.

Landmark/Seven Gables here in the Emerald City has apparently passed on Ep. 2 due to terms.
We hear the Seattle Cinerama is going to have a 35 print running for 2 weeks, then switch to the video.
The 35 will run on an 86 foot wide screen and the video on 45 foot wide sheet.
That should keep the Seattle fans happy!
Thanks George!

Peter said: "The 35 will run on an 86 foot wide screen and the video on 45 foot wide sheet."

That 86-foot screen has almost four times the area of a 45 foot screen!

I bet that any of the first three "Trilogy" Star Wars films would have deserved and been given the "Splendor of 70mm" on that big sheet!

The suspense is growing

Please Mr. Costas, what is the final tally?

US/Canada Digital Screens? Worldwide?

US/Canada 35mm Film Screens? Worldwide?

US/Canada 70mm Film Screens? Worldwide? (I think I already know this answer )

Will the THX or StarWars.com website list all the Digital Cinema locations?

Ted,

When you post the final DLP count worldwide, be sure and also include the final FILM count worldwide so we can see the mass percentages.

Speaking of 70, my brother-in-law remembers being a wide-eyed kid in '77 when his dad took him to see the original at a palace in London Ontario (Odeon or Fox?). They had just installed Dolby and were running 70mm his dad kept reminding him. Sad. Theatre's gone and there's not one print in 70...

The official Star Wars site now has a list, including non-US.
