MIDWEEK ROUND UP (JAN 14th - 17th)
While we were away, The New Beverly reopened (finally!) and there’s more 35mm treats in store. On the other side of the world, Melbourne’s beloved Astor Theatre is in the midst of an ongoing special highlighting the box office hits of 1982’s formidable Summer box office blockbuster royalty. We’ve also got our eye on a new Restoration of The Nun (no, not that awful one from 2018) at NY’s Film Forum, plus their ongoing 70s comedy classics season. Although not a repertory film, current Oscar favorite Roma makes our picks of the week also as it’s enjoying a limited run in 70mm. But enough from us, dive through our picks of the week and be sure to check back Friday morning for you weekend lineup and midnight movies too!
And finally, the Hollywood Theatre in Portland Oregon is hoping to acquire their own 70mm print of 2001: A Space Odyssey (they are super expensive after all) to ensure it gets a proper preservation by projectionist professionals! Make a donation today! More info HERE
