Notes:
Studio and private screening rooms have not been included.
In some cases projection equipment was transferred from venue x to venue y
and thus the x venue is inadvertently or unintentionally listed in this
work.
As well, some venues have been listed because the venue in question was
operational in 1970 but the precise year of 70mm install is undetermined
(i.e. the 70mm installation may have occurred years later during an
ownership change or renovation).
The information in this article was principally referenced from film
industry trade reports, regional newspaper promotion, projector and sound
system trade advertisements and installation records and correspondence with
projectionists and installers/technicians, with special thanks to Claude
Ayakawa, David Ayers, Don Beelik, Louis Bornwasser, Martin Brooks, Jim Cobb,
Bill Counter, Don Furr, Bill Gabel, Mark Gulbrandsen, Steve Guttag, Bobby
Henderson, Jeffry Johnson, William Kallay, Steve Kraus, Bill Kretzel, Ron
Lacheur, Stephen Leigh, Mark Lensenmayer, Victor Liorentas, Stan Malone,
Adam Martin, Gordon McLeod, Brad Miller, Scott Neff, Thom Vourlas, Brian
Whitish, John Williamson, Vince Young, and an extra special thank-you to all
of the librarians who helped with this project.
If you believe this article contains any errors or omissions, please
consider emailing the
author or editor.
