The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
presentations of “Let’s Spend the Night Together” in North America. The
film’s 70mm prints consisted of pillarboxed imagery (approximately 1.85:1)
blown up from spherical 35mm photography. The audio was six-track stereo
(not Dolby-encoded).
“Let’s Spend the Night Together” (aka “Time is on our Side”) was among
thirteen confirmed first-run films released in 1983 with 70mm prints for
selected engagements. The Embassy release — directed by Hal Ashby and
featuring the Rolling Stones in concert — opened February 11th.
The duration of the engagements, measured in weeks played, has been included
for some entries in parenthesis following the cinema name.
Note that some of the presentations included in this listing were presented
in 35mm during the latter weeks of engagement due to print damage and the
distributor’s unwillingness to supply a 70mm replacement print or because
the booking was moved to a smaller, 35mm-only 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, the 35mm portion of the engagement
has been included in the duration figure.
