The following is a reference / historical
listing of the 70-millimeter presentations of “Superman III” in North
America. The film’s 70mm prints consisted of full-frame imagery blown up
from anamorphic 35mm photography. The audio was Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A”
encoded “baby boom” format). “Superman III” was among thirteen first-run films released in 1983 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Alexander Salkind production and Warner Bros. release — directed by Richard Lester and starring Christopher Reeve and Richard Pryor — opened June 17th. 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 may have been 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 format switch to 70mm. In these cases, the 35mm portion of the engagement has been included in the duration figure.
