I didn't see a run in Phoenix, AZ on the list

I didn't list any Phoenix engagements because the movie did not play in 70mm in that market (not first-run, anyway).

Yep..remembering putting together the print for CE3K and sneaking it that night for the bunch of us that mid December of 1977 (can't remember the actual release date though..) for the UA Cinemas 4 in my home town (funny, I was the chief projectionist for a MANN theatre, yet, would do film builds for UA Cinemas ..lol) while I was wrapping up my 6 month engagement of "Star Wars" at our local MANN theatre.

I did managed to tag CE3K at the Regency in SLC in 70mm that next month on a visit.

While hunting around a Barnes & Noble for something to bring with me on my latest road trip, I spotted a new book on the making of "Close Encounters," published to coincide with the film's 30th anniversary. I haven't spotted any errors yet. [Wink]

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind: The Making Of Steven Spielberg's Classic Film was written by Ray Morton, author of King Kong: The History Of A Movie Icon From Fay Wray To Peter Jackson (2005).

Chauvel Cinema in Sydney ran it last week. Not sure it counts as a 're-release' though.

Bob Balaban's book of his memoirs during the production is a very good read. "Spielberg, Truffaut & Me: An Actor's Diary"

I thought I'd revive this 30th anniversary tribute thread since today is the last day to celebrate the film in its anniversary year. Plus, I have all this data compiled and nowhere to showcase it. So...enjoy the flashback!

RELEASED NOVEMBER 16, 1977
New York: Ziegfeld 70mm Six-Track Dolby Stereo

RELEASED NOVEMBER 18, 1977
Los Angeles: Cinerama Dome 70mm Six-Track Dolby Stereo

For the film's general release, which began during the week of December 14, 1977, Columbia Pictures targeted 269 theaters primarily in major markets. Another 301 bookings began one week later. The majority of these original December-initiated engagements are noted below. (The small-market bookings, move-overs, second-run, international, etc. that began/took place during the early months of 1978 have not been included.)

Before I get to the list, though, I thought I'd share an interesting bit regarding the booking terms:

quote: the new book "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind: The Making Of Steven Spielberg's Classic Film"
Each theater was required to play the film for a minimum of twelve weeks and to guarantee the studio a specific financial return (the amount varied by the theater and market). This guarantee would be taken from the theater's box office gross, which (minus house expenses) would be split ninety-ten in Columbia's favor until the promised amount was paid off (the formula would be incrementally adjusted in the theater's favor after that). Each theater was required to spend $1,000 per week to advertise the film in its market for the first four weeks of the engagement, and two hundred theaters had to agree to install the Dolby Stereo Sound System at a cost of $4,000 per theater.

It's playing at the Arclight on 1/21, and in Berkeley on 4/24 if anyone is interested.

I caught it a few years ago at the (sadly closed) Metro in SF as part of Columbia's 75th Anniversary. They had a new print of Spielberg's latest cut, which uses most of the stuff from the Special Edition but omits the lame inside-the-mothership shots. It really held up, for me.

There are now two ArcLight Cinemas in Los Angeles...one in Hollywood, one in Sherman Oaks. The Jan. 21 screening of "Close Encounters" is scheduled for the venue in Sherman Oaks.

Springfield: Springfield Mall Cinema I-II-III-IV

Help! I may have goofed on this Springfield, VA entry.

Anyone familiar with the greater Washington, DC area and the Sringfield theaters? Steve Guttag? Blaine Young? Anyone?

My question: Was the SPRINGFIELD CINEMA and the SPRINGFIELD MALL separate venues, or are/were they one and the same?

It was a GCC location. As in some of their earlier locations, they would add extra screens by building another building in the complex or parking lot. In 1980 that location became Springfield Mall Cinema I,II,III,IV,V & VI.
One local example in Los Angeles would be the GCC South Bay Cinemas. It started as a single and then they added a second building. They twinned the original single, then twinned the large second building and they built a another building across a parking lot and tri-plexed the original single. For three buildings and then they built a all new plex nearby.

Bill, thanks for trying, but I'm not sure you actually answered the question! Allow me to rephrase my original question:

How shall I word the Springfield entry on my "Close Encounters" list?

The reason I pointed out that I may have goofed on the way I identified the venue on my list is because the film's Washington Post newspaper display ad lists it as "Springfield Cinema I," which I initially assumed was the mall theater. But in the newspaper's alphabetical DC/Maryland/Virginia Theater Directory, there's one "box" for "Springfield Cinema I" followed by a separate box for "Springfield Mall I-II-III-IV." ("CE3K" is listed under the "Springfield Cinema I" box; four different movies are listed under the mall entry.)

The paper also lists different addresses. "Springfield Cinema I" is listed as 7639 Old Keene Road; "Springfield Mall 4" is listed as, simply, I-95.

So is it possible the "Springfield Cinema I" shared the same property as the 4-plex, collectivelly making it a five-screen complex?
