The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
presentations of “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” in North America. These
were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience this motion picture.
“Star Trek V” was among seventeen confirmed first-run films released in 1989
with 70mm prints for selected engagements. Forty 70mm prints were reportedly
struck for distribution in North America and represented less than one
percent of the film’s total initial bookings. The Paramount release —
directed by William Shatner and starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy,
DeForest Kelley and Laurence Luckinbill — opened June 9th.
For the release of “Star Trek V,” Paramount employed the services of
Lucasfilm’s Theatre Alignment Program (TAP) to evaluate and approve the
cinemas selected to book a 70mm print.
Pre-release screenings included an invitational preview held June 6th at the
Village in Los Angeles.
The 70mm prints of “Star Trek V” featured full-frame imagery blown up from
anamorphic 35mm and a dual inventory of A- and SR-encoded Six-Track Dolby
Stereo.
Paramount circulated 70mm trailers for “Black Rain,” “Friday the 13th Part
VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan,” “Let it Ride” and “Shirley Valentine” during
the release of “Star Trek V.” As well, other studios circulated 70mm
trailers during this period. Ultimately, the 70mm trailers, if any, seen
during the 70mm presentations of “Star Trek V” varied by venue and
screening.
The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) has been included in
parenthesis following the applicable cinema name.

Note that some of the presentations included in this listing may have been
presented in 35mm during the latter week(s) of engagement due to contractual
terms or print damage and the distributor’s unwillingness to supply a 70mm
replacement print or because the booking was moved to a non-70mm-equipped
auditorium within a multiplex. As well, the reverse may have been true in
some cases whereas a booking began with a 35mm print because the lab was
unable to complete the 70mm print order in time for an opening-day delivery
or the exhibitor negotiated a mid-run switch to 70mm. In these cases, any
35mm portion of the engagement (or movement out of a branded auditorium) has
been included in the duration figure.
