Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Exclusive one month engagement of "2001" in Toronto on Dec 15, 2010 at 8:47 am

Michael Coate put out a revised listing for Toronto and said that the longest-running booking of “2001” during its original roadshow release, based on tracking the playdates through the original newspaper advertisments was 127 weeks at the Glendale in Toronto! May 30, 1968 – November 2, 1970, THATS WELL OVER 2 YEARS!

2001 ends record run (The Globe & Mail, 03 Nov 1970)
The world’s longest continuous run of 2001: A Space Odyssey, came to an end last night with the Glendale Theatre’s 1,310th performance of Stanley (Dr. Strangelove) Kubrick’s science fiction epic. According to D.K. Watts, director of advertising for Twentieth Century Theatre, around 400,000 people saw Space Odyssey in the 708-seat house, bringing in just under $1.25-million at the Glendale.

Space Odyssey ends 127-week run (The Star, 03 Nov 1970)
The science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey finished its Toronto run at the Glendale Theatre last night with its 1,310 performance. D.K. Watts director of advertising for Twentieth Century Theatre, said the 127 weeks in one theatre surpassed the run in every other theatre in the world. More than 400,000 people went to the 708-seat Toronto theatre and paid $1.25 million. Space Odyssey left to make way for the world premier of The Song of Norway.

Ret. AKC (NAC) CCC Bob Jensen, Manteno, Illinois commented about Exclusive one month engagement of "2001" in Toronto on Dec 14, 2010 at 9:12 am

6 LARGEST URBAN CENTERS IN NORTH AMERICA (2005 population)

1 New York City 18,718,000

2 Los Angeles 12,298,000

3 Chicago 8,814,000

4 Miami 5,434,000

5 Philadelphia 5,392,000

6 Toronto 5,312,000

How come Toronto with an area population of “only” 5,312,000 can show a 70mm film 61 times in a month and the 5 areas larger hardly ever show 70mm or if they do only have a screening or two?

I’m just sayin!
