Films that that had added footage AFTER completion

Kubrick re-edited 2001: A Space Odyssey pretty aggressively after underwhelming preview screenings in Washington, DC and NYC, cutting IIRC almost a fifth of the original version.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before. Is there any information on what was in the deleted scenes? Kubrick being Kubrick, I assume the footage does not still exist.

See here: 2001: A Space Odyssey - #126 by Elendil_s_Heir. I see I misremembered: he cut about 12%, not 20%. And yes, I believe it’s now lost footage. I highly recommend that book, Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece by Michael Benson.
