Note: Like many of the significant movies, "The Wizard of OZ" had a number of theatrical re-releases. These were only for films that were so popular, that they were re-released in theaters across the country for a short period after the original release. The Wizard of Oz had three official theatrical releases, 1939, 1949 and 1955. Some films like Casablanca and Frankenstein had more then Five theatrical re-releases.
