Large screen venues are the only reason to go to a movie theatre. I can reproduce the apparent screen size and sound quality from a multiplex in my family room and be a lot more comfortable.
The Cine' Capri (24th & Camelback, Phoenix) opened in 1966 with a 70' screen that curved outward to the fourth or fifth row of seating, hi-fidelity stereophonic sound system, gold drapery, and 800 reclining, high back naugahyde(I always wondered how many naugys it took to do the job?) upholstered seats! The Cine' Capri experience was one of a kind. No screaming kids, no trash, no shoes sticking to the floor, ushers who took care of the occasional unruly patron, jacket and tie required for gentlemen except at matinée performances. "The Agony and the Ecstasy" in 70mm Cinemascope was the first film shown, Charlton Heston was there for a film/acting class , the premier, and a reception that followed. "Star Wars" played to sold out audiences for over a year in 77-78(longest single film showing engagement in history).
Sadly an office tower was deemed a more efficient use of the land and following, ironically, the "Titanic" engagement the Cine' Capri was demolished.
