Is this the swan song for wide release film projection (a little over 100 theaters)?
Retrofitting theaters costing a fortune. The people operated the projectors were hastily trained and often fucked up during a screening. I think this is it. Not enough interest, too much cost and inconvenience.
If so, is Hateful Eight a fitting send-off?

Does anyone how much made money the 70mm screenings made? Did the theaters make a substantial profit?

Yet everybody who has seen it in a proper 70mm screening claimed that it looked and sounded great.
I didn't see one of the 70mm ones, but I still loved it.

I saw it, projectionist probably messed up, it was shaky for 30min, otherwise it was great
nah i think it's the start of a little revival. I know Nolan's dick got really hard at what Tarantino was doing so he's probably gonna try it in the future himself.

the flick did $15 million first week lmfao
What's the big deal about film anyway? Why doesnt tarantino just use digital, it would be so much easier to do big events

The local arthouse theater showing it set their gross record over whatever period the 2-week run was. Tickets were $16 so it depends on how much of the take went to the Weinstein Company or whoever.

Film is a more traditional/nostalgic format. Digital has greater resolution etc. at this point but it's all about the film vs. flick argument.
The real question is why Tarantino chose to use a 4x-35mm-resolution panorama format for a movie largely set in one room.

That's really good for only 100 theaters.
