 The following is a reference / historical
listing of the 70-millimeter presentations of “Who’s That Girl” in North
America. These were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience this motion
picture. “Who’s That Girl” was among seventeen confirmed first-run films released in 1987 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Warner Bros. release — directed by James Foley and starring Madonna and Griffin Dunne — opened August 7th. For the release of “Who’s That Girl,” Warner Bros. 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 “Who’s That Girl” featured Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A” encoded “baby boom” format) and pillarboxed imagery (approximately 1.85:1) blown up from spherical 35mm. Warner Bros. circulated 70mm Six-Track Dolby coming-attraction trailers for “Disorderlies” and “Nuts” during the release of “Who’s That Girl.” Other studios circulated 70mm trailers during this period, as well. Ultimately, any 70mm trailers screened during 70mm presentations of “Who’s That Girl” varied by venue and screening. The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) has been included in parenthesis following the cinema name.
