As was common practice at the time, this film opened in major cities with exclusive 70mm showing at equipped prestige cinemas. Regular 35mm prints were then distributed to smaller provincial cinemas. In the UK the film was a 70mm exclusive in London's west end (and a handful of other major cities) for about three weeks before opening nationwide on regular 35mm. This was originally done to drum up interest and word of mouth and to gauge public interest before the distributors deciding how many 35mm film prints to have made (in the days before home video rentals complicated matters a theatrically successful film could run for however long a cinema wanted to show it).
