The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter engagements of “Let’s Spend the Night Together” in the United States and Canada. These were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience this motion picture.

“Let’s Spend the Night Together” was among thirteen confirmed first-run films released in 1983 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. Forty 70mm prints of the film were reportedly struck for distribution in North America. The Embassy release — directed by Hal Ashby (“Harold and Maude”, “Bound for Glory”) and featuring the Rolling Stones in concert — opened February 11th. The movie was filmed in East Rutherford, New Jersey and Tempe, Arizona during the Rolling Stones’ 1981 North American tour. (Note this film was initially released in other regions of the world under the title of “Time Is On Our Side”.)

The North American 70mm prints of “Let’s Spend the Night Together” featured six-track stereo (non-Dolby; five-screen-channel + one surround) and cropped, full-frame imagery (2.20:1) blown up from spherical 35mm. Note the original “Time Is On Our Side” 70mm prints were pillarboxed at approximately 1.85:1.

Embassy circulated 70mm coming-attraction trailers for “Eddie and the Cruisers” and “Losin’ It” during the release of “Let’s Spend the Night Together.” Other studios circulated 70mm trailers during this period, as well. Ultimately, any 70mm trailers screened during 70mm presentations of “Let’s Spend the Night Together” varied by venue and screening.

The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) is 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.
