Reply to comment by MiyagiDough in In 1930s, Music Defense League launched a campaign against recorded sound in movie and live theaters, claiming that numerous musicians would lose their jobs if "canned music" was preferred over live recordings. by Profanion

What, like a whole band, or just an organist?

So it was a bit of a cheat statement in that it wasn't a traditional film. Probably more like a laser show but it was all CGI. The film came with a soundtrack and we were showing it on a domed cinema for a month, the last few weekends we got a live band to come in and play over it.

The one I went to was the Oregon Symphony Orchestra playing Star Wars to the movie.

I once saw a screening of Harry Potter accompanied by a live orchestra.
