Movie theaters began using widescreen formats in the 1950s primarily to attract audiences away from the growing popularity of television. Widescreen provided a more immersive viewing experience, enhancing visual storytelling and allowing for more dynamic cinematography. The shift also aimed to showcase films as a unique event, emphasizing the grandeur and spectacle that could not be replicated on smaller screens at home. Additionally, innovations like Cinemascope and VistaVision offered filmmakers new creative possibilities, further encouraging the adoption of widescreen formats.
"The Robe" (1953) was the first film released in wide screen format.

The widescreen edition refers to a film or video that is presented in a wider aspect ratio compared to the traditional 4:3 format, typically using ratios like 16:9 or 2.35:1. This format allows for a more immersive viewing experience, showcasing more of the image and enhancing the cinematic quality. Widescreen editions are common in modern films and television shows, as they align with contemporary display technologies, such as HDTVs and cinema screens.

The Strand movie theaters are a chain; the company opens many theaters around the world. There are several theater chains such as GMC, Cinemark, AMC, Regal, United Artists, and many more. Strand movie theaters are one of the oldest operating theater chains. As for the origins of the term 'strand' it dates back to before there were movies: Strand road in London was a popular district for performers and entertainers dating back hundreds of years. A stage theater was built on Strand (pre movie era) which became widely famous for its theatrical performances. In the early days of movies; as chains of theaters began operating, their creators would take the names of famous old opera houses and theater houses and use them as names for movie theaters. The Mark's brothers (Mitchel and Moe Mark) started a movie theater chain named 'Mark Strand Theaters' combining their last name 'mark' with the 'strand theater' concept from one of Londons famous entertainment districts. 'Mark' was later dropped from the title and the Strand Theater chains continued to spread. If there are other chains also adopting the word Strand into their titles; they are similarly just using the name of a street in London that was famous for having a theater on it. In contrast to the theaters trying to use the famous Strand road to hype their business; the road itself gets its name from a rather mundane source: The word strand means a strip of land bordering water; Strand road simply happens to run along the Thames river and the boring name it was given simply implied: that road that runs by the river. The entertainment and hotels that took roots there were in large part due to the extra traffic coming in off the river. For more information see: Strand History in related links below

The use of coconut oil in popcorn at theaters began to decline in the late 1980s and early 1990s due to health concerns regarding saturated fats and changing consumer preferences. Many theaters shifted to using alternative oils, like canola or palm oil, which were perceived as healthier options. However, some theaters still use coconut oil today, as it is favored for its flavor and aroma. The timeline varies by location, as individual theaters make their own choices based on customer demand and health guidelines.
