As far as 2001....
I saw it in one of Manhattan's last Big fancy movie houses! Then it closed down and became a preacher's place. But not changed. Decades later it's now an event's place - still as it was built and inside. The outside is not attraction the sometimes sort of over the top inside is!

And it showed 2001 on it's 50th Anniversary along with a Q&A by ?Ken Dullea.
The funny thing was how boredI was during the ape scenes after a few minutes! I was like, "Uhhhnnnnn, enough!" 😑😄
Enjoyed the rest with the "trip" through the monolith still being amazing!
