Note that some of the titles included in this chronology may have been
presented in 35mm 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
smaller, 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 a 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.
