Before delving into the Sisyphean task of putting together the 100 theater roadshow and some of the problems with individual 70mm screenings you’ve been reading about, it’s important to first remember that while the ability to shoot on film might have recently come back from near death, the battle between digital and film projection has been over for awhile now. Even at the prestigious, filmmaker-friendly New York Film Festival — whose state of the art facilities are the rare venues still capable of screening 35mm — movies that were shot on celluloid, like “Carol,” “Bridge of Spies” and “Listen Up Philip,” have screened digitally (DCP).  Recently, only “Inherent Vice” screened there in 35mm and that was big deal.
