Once in awhile, I get the opportunity to take a ferry ride and run 35mm at a Pacific NW art museum. Last night, during the presentation of a 1949, Japanese, black & white, subtitled film, the AV manager told me that, of the 9 previous shows they'd presented, 6 had been provided on DCP, following some level of restoration.
Kind of looks like even these opportunities will become less frequent.

Was looking up showtimes tonight for "Coco," for which Fandango had a "35mm" option. Except there's no link there (if there ever was).
Check out Pixar's web site which provides confirmation.
quote:
Technical Specifications
Coco and Olaf’s Frozen Adventure are formatted for playback at 2.39:1. Olaf’s Frozen Adventure is 1.85, and is presented pillarboxed within the 2.39 frame (black bars on the sides) to preserve its aspect ratio.
The whole image is important to the story, so be sure you’re showing the entire 2.39 image, side-to-side and top-to-bottom, and that focus is sharp across the entire picture. Your theater sound system should be tuned to 85dB (C-weighted) on all screen channels using pink noise. The correct fader setting on Dolby systems is 7.
35mm Film Specifications
Lamp Levels
Projection lamp levels that are set too low have a disastrous effect on the picture. When projected at the SMPTE standard of 16fL open gate, the image is sharp and colorful. At lower levels, the colors become muddy and gray. The picture has less snap to it and feels lifeless. Important details in the darker areas will disappear if the light levels are too low.

Dolby Digital EX
Datasat
Cyan dye analog Dolby SR
Datasat discs are included with every print.

Fresh Lamp Life (70% of rated life remaining)

Sharp, Tight Masking That Doesn’t Cut Off Picture
Check and Clean Aperture Plate
Check Cleanliness and Operation of Entire Film Path
Reels
Here are the first and last frames of each reel of Coco. These are provided to help you identify the reels in case you receive a print that is mislabeled or incorrectly cut. The numbers above each image show the lengths of the first and last shots on each reel, in feet and frames.
If you need a reel or an entire print replaced, call (877) 272-3870. Replacements will be sent overnight. This service is provided by Deluxe Entertainment Services and is available 24 hours a day.

I'd like to call for a replacement print for the crap digital show we just saw at a Regal cinema.
