According to Variety, Warner Bros. specifically chose every one of the 450 US venues where The Hobbit will play in Peter Jackson‘s preferred 48fps, or HFR, version. They had been planning on far less but ultimately relented and gave Jackson – and for that matter, plenty of the rest of us – just what we wanted.
Bleeding Cool published the list of Regal-owned cinemas where this cutting-edge version will be screening on Monday. Now, here’s the list of 70 Cinemark venues where you’ll also be able to join in, state by state.
Do note that all HFR screenings, globally, will also be in 3D. Tickets for the film, in all five flavours, will go on sale today.
