Well film is not dead, Yet. We are running Batman Vs Superman on 15/70 Celebration Cinema Grand Rapids North. From what I have heard we are only 1 of 10 running on film.

Any idea on how long you'll be running the print for? Is it gonna be a (mostly) limited engagement like Hateful Eight was?

Posted by Larry Zuverink (Member # 1483) on 03-04-2016, 10:39 PM:

3 weeks. I think it is even more limited. Again there are only 10 theatres playing in IMAX 15/70

And another 10 or so playing it in conventional 5/70.

Larry may I ask what projector you use there? We have our MPX projector on rails here next to the digital system.

Larry... thanks for the update. I'll be buying advance tickets to see this show. Worth a 3-4 hour drive for 70MM!

Which other IMAX theaters around the country got Batman vs Superman on film?

Posted by Larry Zuverink (Member # 1483) on 03-28-2016, 04:52 PM:

Eric,
We have SR's. Probably the the same rail system. Allan, did you get down to see it?

Posted by Eric Richard (Member # 8635) on 03-29-2016, 06:43 PM:

Larry

OK I guess most of the remaining system are on rails now. How was the print shipped to you? The normal 6-8 boxes or built up?

Larry, are you using 7K lamps in your SR’s? What brand? Any lamp issues with certain suppliers vs others (Superior vs the world).

MOSI in Tampa is showing it on their dome screen in 70mm.

I originally asked here for the list of theaters playing in 15/70, but I seem to have found it online, although it was published before actual release and there might have been some changes.

But this is what I found:
IMAX Laser 2D:
CA: TCL Chinese (L.A).; AMC Universal CityWalk; AMC Metreon (SF); MA: Sunbrella (Reading); VA: Airbus IMAX (Chantilly); WA: Boeing IMAX (Seattle)

IMAX Laser 3D:
UAR: Vox Cinemas (Dubai); DE: Cinestar Berlin, Filmpalast AM ZKM (Karlsruhe), Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum; UK: Empire Leicester Sq (London), Cineworld (Sheffield).

IMAX 15/70 2D
AL: McWane Center Dome (Birmingham); CA: Hackworth Dome (San Jose); FL: Museum of Discovery (Ft. Lauderdale); IMAX Dome (Tampa); IN: Indiana State Mus (Indianapolis); IA: Blank Dome (Des Moines); MI: Celebration! Cinema Grand Rapids North & IMAX (Grand Rapids); NY: AMC Loews Lincoln Square; PA: Tuttleman IMAX Franklin Inst. (Phila); TX: Omni Ft. Worth Mus.; UK: BFI IMAX (London)

The Odeon in Manchester (UK) also has a 15/70 print.

Posted by John Wilson (Member # 269) on 04-15-2016, 01:11 AM:

Sydney is 15/70 also.

Posted by Martin Brooks (Member # 1269) on 04-17-2016, 04:19 PM:

The Kodak site claims these theaters are playing it in 5/70:
NY: Cinema 1-2-3; CA: Grand Lake (SF); ArcLight (Hollywood); ArcLight (LaJolla); WA: Cinerama (Seattle); MN: CO Willowcreek Falls (Minneapolis); TX: Studio Movie Grill (Dallas); Toronto: Varsity & VIP

and that 19 other theaters across the U.S. are playing it in 35mm.

(I know theoretically this belongs in the Film Forum, but I thought it made more sense to post it near the list of IMAX Laser and 70mm showings).

I'm the only one left in the US playing it in 5/70 here at the willow creek plymouth,mn. kodak needs to update there site
