I don't know about that- they also showed the trilogy in NYC back in '86 or '87. I didn't go, but I've still got a videotape of the TV coverage and a full-page ad from the NY Times. I'm pretty sure that was an official showing too. I think they did it in other states as well.But my next story is about the Egyptian Theater.
