According to imdb.com, Jaws was released in the UK on Christmas Day 1975. So the bulk of its run in the UK was in 1976.

IIRC, it supported Burt Reynolds' Hustle in the UK.

I didn't even know there was such thing as one film 'supporting' another like a support act in a musical setting. Clearly something that's older than I am [/QUOTE]
Yes, it was quite common in the 70s and 80s. 'Double bills' they were called but wouldn't work these days as doesn't make business sense and people don't have the time or attention span to sit thru two films back to back.
ANYWAY...........Just bloody release Rainbow and enough of this 'where and when it was shown in the cinema'....who cares!

It's a pity that there's no more info on the release, innit? :-(

I made a special trip to see it at Sheffields Gaumont Cinema, Sheffield in 1978 - where it was the support film for Saturday Night Fever (the A version).
Can still remember the hairs on the back of my neck excitement, as the sound of Procession filled the huge auditorium, although I think most people weren't too interested, as they were mostly young girls who couldn't get in to see Travolta in the X certificate version of Fever.

The funny thing about this is that they'll spend months trying to find out exactly when it was first shown, only for us to find it saying 'Queen live at the rainbow was first seen in UK cinemas in 1876' in the DVD booklet!
