The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
engagements of “The Remains of the Day” in the United States and Canada. These
were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience the best presentation of this
motion picture.
“The Remains of the Day” was among eight confirmed first-run films released in
1993 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Merchant Ivory production
and Columbia release — directed by James Ivory (“Howards End”) and starring
Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, James Fox and Christopher Reeve — opened
November 5th.
For the release of “The Remains of the Day,” Columbia employed the services of
Lucasfilm’s Theatre Alignment Program (TAP) to evaluate and approve the cinemas
selected to book a 70mm print.
The 70mm prints of “The Remains of the Day” featured full-frame imagery blown up
from Super-35 and a dual inventory of A- and SR-encoded Six-Track Dolby Stereo
(Baby Boom format).
Columbia circulated 70mm Six-Track Dolby coming-attraction trailers for
“Geronimo: An American Legend,” “I’ll Do Anything,” “Josh and S.A.M.,” “My Girl
2” and “My Life” during the release of “The Remains of the Day.” Other studios
circulated 70mm trailers during this period, as well. Ultimately, any 70mm
trailers screened during 70mm presentations of “The Remains of the Day” varied
by venue and screening.
The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) is included in parenthesis
following the 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.
