Part 2: The Engagements
The majority of the titles cited in this section were presented in 5-perf 70-millimeter and with some flavor of six-track stereophonic sound. Details pertaining to origination format (65mm, Technirama, 35mm blow-up, etc.) have not been addressed since the listing is an exhibition-based chronology. Other large-format presentations are represented, including Cinerama (with seven-track audio), horizontal VistaVision (in monaural) and 35mm presentations that utilized interlocked six-track audio. Roadshows during this period of time are also included regardless of the film gauge or audio type used during the presentation. IMAX and other special venue presentations have not been included (though they might be added in a future revision).
The roadshows have been listed with an asterisk following the appropriate titles. These were reserved-seat engagements with advanced pricing and limited, scheduled showtimes (typically ten-per-week or two-a-day). Souvenir programs were usually sold and often the presentations included an overture, intermission, entracte, and exit music. And despite the popular (mistaken) perception that roadshows equated to a 70mm presentation, many roadshows were actually screened in a 35mm presentation and effort has been made to identify these with an appropriate notation. (Pre-1953-era roadshows have not been included in this work.)
The Cinerama-branded 70mm presentations during the 1963-69 period are noted as [Cinerama] with quotation marks to emphasize these presentations were not genuine Cinerama and were essentially a branded form of 70mm (though still projected onto a large, deeply curved screen).
The duration of the engagements, measured in weeks, has been included for each entry in parenthesis following the cinema name. Note that some of the presentations included in this listing may have been presented in 35mm during the latter weeks of 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 format switch to 70mm. In these cases, the 35mm portion of the engagement has been included in the duration figure.
m/o = a move-over engagement (i.e. a continuation of a booking from another cinema)
