What follows is a chronology of 70mm six-track stereophonic sound
feature-film presentations in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The focus of this work is 5-perf 70mm feature films and the cinemas in
which they were exhibited. Short subjects, 8-perf and 15-perf (IMAX,
Iwerks, etc.) and Special Venue presentations have not been included
(but consideration will be given to adding them in a revision).
The focus here is on the titles that received publicly-promoted,
commercial exhibition in 70mm and their playdates. To facilitate an
easy-to-reference title- and date-based layout, no details have been
provided pertaining to the brand of 70mm (i.e. Todd-AO, Super
Panavision, Ultra Panavision, Cinerama, D-150, etc.) or technical
particulars of each presentation (i.e. O-neg source, inter-neg source,
blow-up, pillarboxed, letterboxed, Dolby A, Dolby SR, five screen
channels vs. three, baby boom, split surround, digital sound, etc.).

Note that some of the titles included in this chronology were presented
in 35mm (or, recently, DCP) 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 the engagement has been included in the duration figure.
During the roadshow era, the reserved-seat policy, in some instances,
was relaxed during the summer and/or latter weeks of the run. Any
non-roadshow portion of such an engagement has been included in the
applicable duration figure.
