Unless you're seeing films at some kind of cinema revival, nobody does reels anymore. You saw the reel Dunkirk, so to speak.

Dunkirk was a weird exception

Warner Bros. is looking to make the most of it. The studio has announced that theaters in the U.S. and Canada will be showing Dunkirk in all its glory in 125 locations around the country, the widest 70-mm release in 25 years. To make that happen, the movie will be shown in 30 IMAX theaters that are equipped with 70-mm projectors. In addition, 95 old 70-mm projectors, once thought to be a technology destined for obsolescence, have been resuscitated and installed in select theaters.

Interesting. I wonder if Seattle Cinerama was part of that at the time? The film did have a great visual appeal, but the script definitely fell short.
