Author Topic: Theaters still running 35mm Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 11-25-2013 03:51 PM                        Only one theatre left in our area. It's a small twin that only runs on weekends. Regal put 35mm back into a local theatre during lease-renewal negotiations. It was close, but they finally came to an agreement and the digital was re-installed. Of the Washington State drive-ins, currently expected to reopen for the 2014 season, only one has not converted.  |  IP: Logged Timothy Eiler Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Litchfield , Minnesota, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-25-2013 04:20 PM                        At the Starlite Drive-in in litchfield Mn We have 5 screens of film, I got a digital Projector on one of those screens operational at the beginning of last august. We ran it starting Labor day weekend when a film print of Were the Millers was not available to me. By next summer we will have a 2nd screen with digital. And the other 3 will go dark at the end of film  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Wood Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Oxfordshire, United kingdom Registered: Jan 2008 posted 11-25-2013 04:23 PM                     Anyone know the state of play in the UK ?

We still run prints often. For DCP, we have a 2K Christie with Doremi server. Also used for DVD, Blu-ray, Kai-pro, and satellite broadcasts. Not too far away... Cinemark Movies 6 (former GCC) Mishawaka, IN As far as I know, they still run 35mm on 5 screens. Screen 1 has some sort of Barco running 2D/3D content. This is a discount house. Saw a 35mm print of The Fifth Estate a couple weeks ago. Haven't visited the AMC Showplace 16 (formerly Kerasotes) South Bend, IN in awhile. They had a few screens still with 35mm but that may have changed by now. Last film print I saw there was Django Unchained.

We run at the very least 2-3 35mm rep shows each week and also regularly show 16mm and 70mm. Three other Drafthouses in Austin have 35mm capability: Lakeline, Village, and South Lamar (which is currently being renovated). Lakeline and Village have 1-2 35mm shows each month on average, South Lamar has a few more than that. Around town we also have: - The Marchesa Theater - 35mm and DCP - The Paramount Theater - 35mm/70mm only w/ another venue next door that does digital - The UT Student Union - still occasionally has a 35mm show - Experimental Response Cinema - regularly shows 16mm avant-garde and experimental film on portable 16mm at different venues around town  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-27-2013 03:41 AM                     Boise: Country Club Reel 6: PR-1014's and 1050's, STRONG X-90's, SPA-7, DTS 6 and 6D, AP3 Platters Nampa: Northern Lights Cinema Grill: PR-1050's, X-90 with A-3 Platters.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-27-2013 07:59 AM                        Here is what I know of for certain in the Boston area. No doubt there are others, likely multiplexes with one 35mm setup still in place. Unsurprisingly, most of these are not typical multiplexes: Museum of Fine Arts - 35/16 in main auditorium, 35 in screening room, not sure on DCI (probably not yet equipped) - regular film program Institute of Contemporary Art - 35, non-DCI video - regular film program (mostly video, though) Stuart St. Playhouse (at Revere Hotel) - 35 and DCI - rentals and special events only Landmark Kendall Square Cinema - one screen with 35 capability, all nine screens DCI equipped - full-time art-house cinema Coolidge Corner - 35/70 in main auditorium 35/16 in former balcony, DCI on both, plus two video-only screening rooms Harvard Film Archive - 35/16 plus non-DCI video - regular repertory program (auditorium is a modified college lecture hall) Brattle Theatre - 35/16 plus DCI - full-time repertory house Somerville Theatre - 35/70 in main auditorium, 35 on two other screens, all five screens have DCI capability West Newton Cinema - 35 on all six screens plus non-DCI video - full-time art house Brandeis University - 35/16 plus DCI video - very occasional screenings Emerson College screening room - 35/16 plus DCI projector (not sure if they ever got a DCI server) - occasional repertory screenings Wellesley College - 35 plus non-DCI video - occasional screenings Norwood Theatre - 35 plus non-DCI video - occasional screenings and special events Orpheum Theatre (Foxboro) - 35 - occasional screenings and special events In the Providence area: Avon Cinema - 35 and DCI - full-time art house Rhode Island School of Design - 35/16 and non-DCI video - occasional screenings and special events Brown University - 35 and DCI - occasional screenings and special events Columbus Theatre - 35 - rentals and special events only Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) - 35 - very occasional screenings and special events1  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-27-2013 09:19 AM                     Obviously there are still plenty of theaters with working 35mm projection systems still in place. Here in Lawton, the Carmike 8 has two screens with 35mm projection still in place alongside 2K DLP. But they haven't run anything on film since Inglorious Basterds. That's why I list the Vaska as the only theater in town actually still using 35mm. I think most of the theaters in SW OK that were able to switch to digital projection have already done so. Heritage Park Theaters converted its theaters in Altus, Chickasha & Weatherford. AFAIK, the Palace Twin theater in Duncan, OK is still running 35mm film prints. I thought the Liberty Theater in Carnegie, OK was still running film, but they recently went digital (and 3D) recently. Ticket prices are still CHEAP ($4 standard admission + $2 for 3D). The Washita Theater in New Cordell, OK closed in January for renovations. They have yet to re-open. The theater was notable for being THX certified but in a town of only 2000 people. I don't know if they're putting in a digital projection system (or trying to do so but coming up short in funds). I don't know if the THX certification will remain if the theater does re-open.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-27-2013 09:20 AM                        quote: Jonathan Wood Anyone know the state of play in the UK ? Hardly any I imagine ? A "death of film" piece (direct link to MP3 clip) on Radio Four's Today programme on 29 May (of this year) stated that by October, there would be no more screens in the UK projecting film. I'm guessing that what the reporter actually meant is that the last first run chain was scheduled to have gone totally DCI by that point, and that he got that date either by ringing round the chains, or the UK installation companies. If true, the implication is that by the end of last month, only the odd independent and archive/rep house was left showing 35mm.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-27-2013 10:23 AM                     Ummm, this is turning out to be not what I was looking for.
