Note that some of the titles included in this chronology may have been
presented in 35mm during the latter week(s) of their engagement due to
contractual terms or print damage (and the distributors unwillingness to
supply a 70mm replacement print) or because the booking was moved to a
non-70mm-equipped 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 switch to 70mm.
In these cases, any 35mm portion of an engagement (or movement out of a
branded auditorium) has been included in the duration figure.

projection and sound system trade advertisements and installation records.
