 The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
presentations of “Shining Through” in North America. These were arguably the
best cinemas in which to experience the film. “Shining Through” was among ten confirmed first-run films released in 1992 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The 20th Century Fox release — directed by David Seltzer and starring Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith — opened January 31st The 70mm prints of “Shining Through” featured full-frame imagery from anamorphic 35mm and Six-Track Dolby Stereo (SR-encoded Baby Boom format with a split surround playback option). For the release of “Shining Through,” Fox employed the services of Lucasfilm’s Theatre Alignment Program (TAP) to evaluate and approve the cinemas selected to book a 70mm print. Fox circulated 70mm trailers for “Alien 3,” “My Cousin Vinny,” “This is My Life” and “White Men Can’t Jump” during the release of “Shining Through.” As well, other studios circulated 70mm trailers during this period. Ultimately, the 70mm trailers, if any, seen during the 70mm presentations of “Shining Through” varied by venue and screening. The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) has been included in parenthesis following the cinema name.
