Thank you vindanpar have you checked out the gorgeous ads at the Loews State page for Columbia Pictures announcing the Roadshow Engagement and Premiere for “Oliver”? If you pre-bought tickets they sent you a full color reproduction of the artwork.
“The Song Of Norway” played a 70MM Roadshow engagement from February 10, 1971 thru May 3, 1971. Opening ad in photo section with prices. Prices were reduced for final week and posted as “all seats $3.50 Evenings and $1.50 children at all times”. No listing for matinee price. A one week engagement of “Making It” starring Kristoffer Tabori followed.
Hey bigjoe59 from everything I have heard, Wakefield Poole’s “Boys in the Sand” was indeed the first feature length picture, opening at the 55th. Even HBO’s “The Deuce” had an episode devoted to it.
18 months before “Deep Throat” took the world by storm, The Tivoli made history in NY by playing “Mona” the first sexually explicit “feature” film with actors and plot and not a movie disguised as a pseudo documentary or marriage manual. Opening ads in photo section.
“The Sunshine was in no competition with the Lincoln Plaza or Paris since those two venues are in totally different parts of the city than the Sunshine.”
Really? Maybe for you. If a picture opened on more than one screen, my friends and I chose the best theater, most comfortable, best screen and sound and Lincoln Plaza Cinemas usually wasn’t it, even though I lived across the street from it
for years.
“The last line is unnecessary. Yes, theatres are closed due to the Covid-19. We get it.”
Yeah, we get it today, but someone reading this thread in two years will get it too.
“Manhold” in 3D opened December 26, 1977 and played for seven weeks.
It’s a lost film with an interesting history. Directed by David E. Durston who directed the horror cult classic “I Drink Your Blood”. Village Voice ad and screenshot in photo section.
