On the version playing on Netflix, the "June 11, 1970 Queens, New York" title is missing in the establishing shot before the get your shine box scene. Anyone know why that is?

In the version I have watched on DVD and Bluray it only says that date at the very beginning of the movie.

I just checked my DVD. It appears at about 52:09 during a shot of the bar exterior right before the Billy Batts scene.

Well, I only have it on bluray now but I don't recall the date being listed there.

thats odd. my dvd says the june 11th date. during the street view of the suite lounge
its a rather large font also compared to the font at the beginning (brooklyn 1955)

my guess would be the font didnt look good upscaling to a higher resolution format?
