The problem with IMDB is that while info may be technically correct the data too often lacks context. Much of the info begs for clarification or elaboration. In the case of STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, a better and I imagine more reliable resource would be in70mm.com. Here’s what William Kallay & Michael Coate had to say about it:

Initially released in 35mm on Dec 7. World Premiere in Washington, DC (35mm). A (few) 70mm print(s) appear to have been struck at a later date. Double billed (in 70mm) with “Star Trek II” in San Francisco (and perhaps elsewhere) in Sept 1982.

I’m pleased to see the Cinerama series return. It had been a couple of months since the last posting, and I was afraid you had discontinued the series.

Thanks, Michael! Fascinating stuff.

Thank you very much for this Cinerama series! Reading the titles, theatre names and the hype tags brings back a lot of wonderful memories of a bygone era.
