Does anybody know if the 35mm print was simultaneously released on the same opening date as the 70mm (ESB's opening date) or was it released later?

My guess is the 35mm came out later. When I lived in NJ back in 1980, there was only one theater near me that had Empire opening weekend, and it was a 70mm venue. People were driving a long way to see it!

 

Returning to the article you posted earlier on this thread, it looks like most of the first wave enagements were 70mm but not all. So I guess 35mm came out at the same time but not a lot of it. Unless I'm understanding that wrong.
