Returning to the topic of how many IB tech prints were created. Do we know if all these prints were English audio? Every year new countries were getting the movie, would some of those countries have been given IB prints? Was the re-release only for the US/UK?

According to: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekly&id=starwars4.htm

At it's peak, Aug 19-25 1977, SW was in 1,094 theaters. [non-Technicolor] The 82 re-release was also in close to 1,100 theaters. The Technicolor estimates have been between 200-300.

Also were there US created IB Tech prints, but it's generally acknowledged that only the UK ones made it into collector's hands?
