I live in LA and wanted to go to this but there were no tickets available to the general public. I'm really hoping they do a regular screening of it soon.

Cinemark Theater presentation yesterday. 2.2 letterboxed aspect ratio with beautiful--seemingly accurate to the original film stock--color variations and transitions (loved the very stark look of the main titles going into the upward tilted shot within the corn stalks). Still can't approach the feeling of real depth in a first-generation Todd AO print (you can see slight keystoning/stretching in some shots) but the detailing from the 4K scan of the 70mm/30fps elements and charged 4-magnetic-track-derived mix gave a very good approximation of it. Unlike their presentation of MY FAIR LADY last month though they (at the theater I viewed it at) didn't actually stop the projector at the intermission and kept running the ent'racte straight through. Zinneman wanted certain scenes very shadowy & low-key and the transfer staff has done an excellent job noting certain touches within those parameters (there's a perfect shot at the Skidmore Ranch when Ado Annie and Will are talking at the darkest part of sunset and a shadowy presence moves just sightly at the horizon line near a background fence and it reveals itself as one of the horses, an excellent and authentic scene contribution).
