“Up there with the best of the best.”

Compiled by: Michael Coate Date: 26.10.2019
The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter presentations of “Top Gun” in North America. These were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience this motion picture.

“Top Gun” was among sixteen confirmed first-run films released in 1986 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. Approximately one-hundred twenty-five 70mm prints of the film were struck for distribution in North America and represented about 12% of the film’s total initial print run. The Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer production and Paramount release — directed by Tony Scott (“Days of Thunder,” “The Last Boy Scout”) and starring Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis — opened May 16th.

Pre-release screenings included a 70mm sneak preview held May 10th in numerous locales (many of which were a double feature with Paramount’s 35mm “Blue City” or “Fire with Fire”). Benefit premieres and invitational previews were held in numerous locales May 12th (New York), 13th (San Diego), 14th (?), 15th (Los Angeles + numerous others ) and 18th (Washington, DC).

For the release of “Top Gun,” Paramount employed the services of Lucasfilm’s Theatre Alignment Program (TAP) to evaluate and approve the theaters selected to book a 70mm print.

The 70mm prints of “Top Gun” featured Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A” encoded Baby Boom format with a Split-Surround playback option) and full-frame imagery blown up from Super-35.

Paramount circulated a 70mm Six-Track Dolby coming-attraction teaser trailer for “The Golden Child” during the initial weeks of the release of “Top Gun.” Over the course of the movie’s lengthy run, Paramount circulated additional 70mm Six-Track Dolby trailers including “Children of a Lesser God,” “Critical Condition,” “‘Crocodile’ Dundee,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives,” “Heartburn,” “Some Kind of Wonderful” and “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.” Other studios circulated 70mm trailers during this period, as well. Ultimately, any 70mm trailers screened during 70mm presentations of “Top Gun” varied by venue and screening.

The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) has been included in parenthesis following the applicable cinema name.

Note that some of the presentations included in this listing may have been presented in 35mm during the latter week(s) of engagement due to contractual terms or print damage and the distributor’s 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 the engagement (or movement out of a branded auditorium) has been included in the duration figure.
