DUNKIRK Gets A 70MM Widescreen Formatted Limited Release As Tickets Go On Sale

Adding to the summer moviegoing fervor as of yesterday’s announcement, Christopher Nolan period war epic, Dunkirk, is now looking to leave a mark this season at the box office with a milestone 70MM widescreen presentation at select theaters. Much of the film was captured on IMAX in high-resolution 2D lensing to embolden greater scope and breathtaking image quality during production, and apparently its standing as one of Fandango’s top five highly-anticipated summer titles has further driven the incentive some. “I have been a longtime proponent of film – particularly the IMAX film format – as a storytelling medium,” said Christopher Nolan. “The immersive quality of the image is second to none, drawing the audience into the action in the most intense way possible.” 100 standard 70mm installations plus 31 70mm Imax theaters is the current expected count thusfar. Official tickets and location details for the 70mm premiere are available now […]
