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.

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.
