I believe there are more than you think.  The Detroit Film Theatre at the
Detroit Institute of Arts has been equipped since 1982 for twin-strip,
and the New Neon Movies in Dayton, Ohio was equipped as of a couple
of years ago.  The New Neon recently lost its Cinerama capabilities, and
it's possible that the twin-strip sync motors were removed at the same
time.
I've heard that it's not as difficult as you may think to set up a system
either.
The big barrier seems to be the cost of the silver screen.

Does anyone else know of more twin-strip capable theatres out there???
