Author Topic: Has anyone compiled a list of 70MM prints available for booking? Joe Schmidt Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: Billings, Montana, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-04-2004 02:17 PM                     Booking into a 70MM-equipped theatre, of course, for revival showings. According to the Internet Movie Database, there have been 320 titles with 70MM sound mixes, therefore I'd assume there must have been at least a handful of prints per each made originally. Here's the link to these... http://www.imdb.com/List?sound-mix=70%20mm%206-Track&&heading=15;70%20mm%206-Track  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-04-2004 02:47 PM                     Ugh...MOVING! Joe, please pay attention. The main index page clearly states quote: Forum exclusively for discussion of 8/70 and 15/70 format films. (5/70 discussion should be posted in the Film Handler's Forum.)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-04-2004 09:00 PM                     They left out "Castle Keep" which is on Sony's list of available 70mm titles. That makes 321 titles.
