If it is the same print that was shown in NYC recently, then it is a
new twin-strip print.  The gentleman who spoke at the Film Forum (I
forget his name and title) mentioned that there were only a few movie
theaters in the US still able to show twin strip 3D.  The Film Forum,
one in Chicago, one in LA (the one mentinoed above I assume) and
another somewhere else in California.
