Is it still showing where YOU live?
- Thread starter gastrof
- Start date
Wait, the Tuesday after Labor Day weekend?
Yeah, September 8, 1966...the series premiere of "Star Trek"
Ironically, the Monterey IMAX has it showing through Monday, unless they plan on keeping yet another week.
And unless Harry Potter is out of first-run, they just might, at that!
Back for yet another week here: http://www.cdcmovies.com/SALISBURY/index.html
It's been gone from here for a couple weeks, which is disppointing because I wanted to get in one more time. Colorado isn't even getting it back into Imax. 
This doesn't really count as a screening, although yesterday there was selected ST09 footage being played on a big screen, while the Sydney Symphony Orchestra played highlights of the soundtrack music live, in the very same concert hall that the movie had its World Gala Premiere!!!!

It is done.
It's gone from local indoor theaters and venues, but on Saturday night near Virginia Military Institute in Lexington,VA(just up the road a little from me)there was a special drive-in/outdoor presentation of TREK. I found out too late to make it, but it was cool to hear they showed TREK outdoors for hundreds of people to drive to and see from their cars.
Is that big crowd outside the opera house waiting to get into the Star Trek program?
Actually, the Opera House pic in my blog entry is from a few weekends earlier. As it turned out, they needed my wonderful box seats for the choir to sit in, and I had to go in to get my tickets exchanged. But it was a glorious day, just like last Saturday. The Opera House is stunning in weather like that, and the sun is quite blinding reflecting off the white sails.
The concert was in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, in the same hall as they had that gala world premiere. Seating capacity for that movie screening was 2,100 people, IIRC, and this concert, "Star Trek and the Sydney Symphony", played twice (Friday night and Saturday afternoon), both times to a capacity crowd.
"The maximum seating capacity of the hall is 2,679, with approximately 2,100 seats situated in front of the stage (most appropriate for amplified concerts)." This link shows how the set up looks with 2,679 seats. We had the stage covering many of those forward seats. My tickets said Row D, which turned out to be the front row.

So I estimate 4,000 Sydneysiders saw this concert on the weekend.
Serious?!
I heard about it all the way down in Roanoke. A friend said it was going to be part of an outdoor double-bill with some other recent movie. I'd have gone, but didnt find out until just a few hours before it started and had no time to get ready and make the drive.
I'm thinking those might be there for tuning the room acoustics.
Edit:
Yep. They're actually pretty big -- sort of large acrylic doughnuts (or, as one well-known conductor is supposed to have said, toilet seats.
