I know that Museum of Civilization, in Gatineau, Quebec can run 70mm because they had a 70mm festival this past September (see here: http://www.in70mm.com/news/2010/canada/index.htm)) Te Cinesphere. I would also bet the Cinesphere on Toronto’s lakefront can (they used to run 70mm fairly regularly).
This article indicates that the building’s owner has put the building up for sale. The broker handling the property does not think it is out of the question that the building might return to theatrical use – especially if the drug store currently occupying the property does not renew its lease: View link
Theatre 1 can not only show 70mm; it shall be doing so soon, including “2001, A Space Odyssey,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” and “Playtime.” I just posted a new item about it; it should appear in a few days.
Yes, occasionally. There was a showing of “Funny Girl” there on November 15. AMPAS has a calendar page at View link New York events are marked by (NY). Right now, there is not anything scheduled for November or December though.

The link above does not take you to the Academy’s “East Coast Theater;” it takes you instead to the CT page for the current Big Cinemas Manhattan (formerly the D.W. Griffith, Ciné Malibu, 59th Street East, and ImaginAsia). Big Cinemas Manhattan is at 239 E. 59th St. There is not anything on the CT page or on the Big Cinemas page that indicates any past or current connection with the the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (AMPAS).
Lighthouse International is located at 111 E. 59th St. The theater is actually a part of the Lighthouse International Conference Center’s facilities. AMPAS clearly leases the theater for some showings and functions, so it is, at least in a sense, their “East Coast Theater,” but this webpage and others at the Lighthouse site about it clearly show that it can be used on a rental basis by other persons or groups (though I would imagine that AMPAS functions are given preference, and that the lease terms were favorable enough so that Lighthouse was more than willing to call it the Academy Theater at least for as long as the Academy wants to use it): View link
This theater has been closed for several years; it needs roof and other repairs, and was recently acquired by Manistee’s Downtown Development Authority: View link
According to the information on the theater’s official website, restoration is ongoing; the two balcony level screening rooms have been removed and the balcony has been restored.

Sandrew Metronome? What a delightful name!
