THE MASTER was shown in 70mm in SF.

The Phantom Menace was shown in four theaters digitally about a month into the run. Two were in Los Angeles and two were in the New York area (northern New Jersey). I saw one of the New Jersey screenings. There was no sound during the Lake Placid trailer and the sound cut out during the end titles.

Saw this on Thanksgiving at TCL Chinese Theater which, as I understand it, converted the main room to IMAX a while back.
First of all, this is a hell of a place to watch movies in 70mm, with the design of the seating being "stadium seating", only done in the 1920's. I chose a seat based on a web photo, and nailed the sweet spot of the theater (three rows back of the mid-room walkway). I thought it was interesting that Christopher Nolan went with a dark, muddy look to the 35mm blow-up portions of the movie. I was surprised that stuff still looked great in a film-to-digital-to-70mm film transfer.
Of course, the look of the 35mm material is meant to contrast the Earth and interior spaceship scenes with the "stellar" portion of the movie, as well as give the various planets they visit a grittier feel. Good choice, and well in keeping with the kind of "between two realms" construct of the story, which recalls Jules Verne in the best sense.
Only bad news was that, at TCL Chinese, the uncompressed IMAX sound didn't come off smoothly in the low-end, which meant that the many music and/or sound effects crescendos, which can last for many minutes in this "sustained suspense" kind of movie, just ended up hurting my ears. Looks like I'll have to view this at a specifically designed IMAX theater to really get that low-end without distortion.
Great movie; very ambitious. A shot in the arm of what we need more of from Hollywood.
