They had Spartacus as well in 70mm (which I did not see). Of course, the soundtracks were analogue and in bad shape, the analogue sound system needed a tweak, the sound was TOO LOUD and the 70mm projectors could use a maintenance. And it was the flat 70mm, not the "cinerama" 70mm and the prints weren't perfect, yada, yada.

Nevertheless, it was quite something to see. Nothin' like it.

I'm actually surprised that a theatre that size (a Walter Reade) had a brace of 70mm projectors still functioning. A Sunday afternoon very well spent, all in all. Theatre was full, BTW.
