Editing 70 mm film (section)

=== Current use ===
From 1970, the usage of 65&nbsp;mm negative film drastically reduced, although the Soviet Union (who used 70&nbsp;mm stock) continued to use it frequently until the end of the 1980s. This was in part due to the high cost of 65&nbsp;mm raw stock and processing. Some of the few films since 1990 shot entirely on 65&nbsp;mm stock are [[Kenneth Branagh]]'s ''[[Hamlet (1996 film)|Hamlet]]'' (1996), [[Ron Fricke]]'s ''[[Baraka (film)|Baraka]]'' (1992) and its sequel, ''[[Samsara (2011 film)|Samsara]]'' (2011) and [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s ''[[The Hateful Eight]]'' (2015). Some titles used a mixture of 5-perf and 15-perf (IMAX) 65&nbsp;mm stock, including [[Christopher Nolan]]'s films ''[[Dunkirk (2017 Film)|Dunkirk]]'' (2017), ''[[Tenet (film)|Tenet]]'' (2020) and ''[[Oppenheimer (film)|Oppenheimer]]'' (2023), and [[Ryan Coogler]]'s ''[[Sinners (2025 film)|Sinners]]'' (2025).

Other titles with a significant amount of 65&nbsp;mm footage (both 5-perf and 15-perf) include [[Kenneth Branagh]]'s ''[[Hamlet (1996 film)|Hamlet]]'' and ''[[Murder on the Orient Express (2017 film)|Murder on the Orient Express]]'', [[Paul Thomas Anderson]]'s ''[[The Master (2012 film)|The Master]]'', and Christopher Nolan's ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', ''[[Inception]]'',<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.collider.com/2010/03/25/director-christopher-nolan-and-producer-emma-thomas-interview-inception-they-talk-3d-what-kind-of-cameras-they-used-pre-viz-wb-and-a-lot-more/ |title=Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas Interview Inception – They Talk 3D, What Kind of Cameras They Used, Pre-Viz, WB, and a Lot More! |work=Collider |first=Steve 'Frosty' |last=Weintraub |date=25 March 2010 |access-date=1 December 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100327204348/http://www.collider.com/2010/03/25/director-christopher-nolan-and-producer-emma-thomas-interview-inception-they-talk-3d-what-kind-of-cameras-they-used-pre-viz-wb-and-a-lot-more/ |archive-date=27 March 2010 }}</ref> ''[[The Dark Knight Rises]]'' and ''[[Interstellar (film)|Interstellar]]''.

Since the 2010s, most movie theaters have converted to digital projection systems, resulting in the removal of both 35&nbsp;mm (the previous industry standard) projectors and 70&nbsp;mm projectors.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://variety.com/2013/film/news/digital-cinema-conversion-nears-end-game-1200500975/|title=Digital Cinema Conversion Nears End Game|work=Variety|first=Leo|last=Barraclough|date=23 June 2013|access-date=1 December 2015}}</ref> However some venues and organizations remain committed to screening 70&nbsp;mm film, seeing the special format as something that can set them apart and be an audience draw in an industry where most movies are screened digitally.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Film Stays in the Picture: A Guide to 70 mm Film Projection |url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/09/a-guide-to-70mm-projection/ |website=Consequence of Sound |access-date=8 February 2019}}</ref>
