About
Kubrick’s Roman epic gets a single 70mm showing at the Paris — 3 hours 32 minutes, one 15-minute intermission, 535 seats.
Spartacus was Kubrick’s only work-for-hire epic and the one he half-disowned, which has never stopped it from being overwhelming at scale. The Paris gives it a single 70mm date in a 535-seat single-screen house with a real 15-minute intermission, the way roadshow pictures were built to be watched. Three and a half hours of Douglas, Olivier, Ustinov and Laughton, then out onto 58th Street.
What to expect
One 5:45 pm screening on 70mm, running 3 hours 32 minutes plus a 15-minute intermission, so figure on being out around 9:30. Seating is reserved across the 535-seat auditorium and the Paris does not admit anyone more than 20 minutes after showtime. This is the only Spartacus date in the Big & Loud run.
