Are there actually any theaters that screened The Hobbit on 35mm? Would be interesting to know!

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure our cheap theatre (or whatever you call them, second run?) didn't show The Hobbit because they couldn't get access to a 35mm print.

I don't know if that means there weren't any prints, though. I think they had a similar issue with Man of Steel, but were able to show it for a day or two (because we did see it).

And I don't really mind the tint in it, it's kind of cute in an otherworldly kind of way...and who's to say that skies aren't greenish on Middle Earth? Tolkein always describes fire and torchlight as being "red", and that doesn't sound very accurate to me...

Obviously, FotR is a different story.
