The 70mm Newsletter
Compiled by: Michael Coate Date: 20.08.2023
The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter presentations of “The Master” in the United States and Canada.

The Weinstein Company release was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (“Boogie Nights,” “Inherent Vice”) and starred Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The film’s world premiere was held September 1st, 2012, at the Venice Film Festival

The 70mm prints of “The Master” featured Datasat audio and a mixture of Panavision Super 70 and spherical 35mm imagery (pillarboxed at approximately 1.85:1).

During the release of “The Master,” Weinstein circulated a 70mm coming-attraction trailer for “Silver Linings Playbook.”

Note that some of the presentations included in this listing were presented in 35mm or DCP 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. In these cases, any 35mm or DCP portion of the engagement has been included in the duration figure.
