Yeah, I’ve seen it on either video or cable. Seems fairly typical for a pre-Star Wars 70’s scifi movie.
There was also a meme in the 60s (did they have memes in the 60s? :D) during the Vietnam war with the draft and all of the anti-war protests about never trusting anyone over 30. Logan’s Run was released just three years after the end of the war.
I don’t know about budgets but some other well known sci fi of that era would include Omega Man, Soylent Green, Deathrace 2000, The Andromeda Strain, and Rollerball.
Sandfella badfella, badfella cheat!
Age 57 here. Read the novel, saw the movie, watched the TV series… and even wrote an English paper on it in college. Not one of the best SF movies of all time, but I’ve always thought of it as a classic.
I’m glad it wasn’t based on Glen or Glenda. 
No cite, but Playboy had an article with photos on the sex and drugs aspect. I can’t remember, but it may have noted how the movie was edited down for the theatrical release. There were originally longer scenes where Jenny and the guy (hmm, why can’t I remember the guy’s name? 
) were running within the City and passed through orgy rooms.
The first book had a much larger world. Instead of just one City, the world had multiple domes. There were also full-size re-creations of things like the Battle of Gettysburg that the characters were escaping through.
I remember the hype about the sci-fi effects and how they were groundbreaking. They showed the City with its glass tubes with shuttles zooming through them. I still thought they could have put a little more detail into that.
The main weapon was a gun that had 6 kinds of charges (must have been an homage to a 6-shooter). A web/net shooter, a blaster, maybe a freeze setting, etc. But the gun Only had those six charges and no refills!
The actors still looked too old even moving the Carousel age up to 29. Michael York at 34 and Richard Jordan at 39. It looked skeevy with them going after those younger girls.
Whenever anyone says it’s the last day for anything, I immediately think to myself “Capricorn 29’s!”.
The first time I read the book, I was in junior high school. Most of the characters were older than me, and the youth angle didn’t really register. It was just one more dystopian sci-fi story.
The book sat on the shelf for several years, and I didn’t think about it much. One day, after I finished college, I picked it up again and re-read it. Now, except for Ballard, all of the characters were younger than me. The hot promiscuous chicks. The sandmen. The runners. The doctors. The homicidal maniacs. It was a bit of a shock.
Sure, saw it college, baked of course. We were old enough to know it was a little on the cheesy side.
TCM occasionally runs a “making of” featurette that was probably shown to theater owners.
Never saw it, but I read the book. Does that count?
I’m 70 and remember every bit of it. Love the cats. “Can they talk?”

I was fifteen when the 1976 movie came out. Didn’t see it in the theater, but certainly was aware of it. I did watch the 1977 TV-series, and thought that it was fairly entertaining. Enjoyed seeing Heather Menzies in abbreviated attire.
I remember when “Runs” were a thing at science fiction conventions. That, and elevator races at the Los Angeles Bonaventure. Wonderful fun for us immature sci-fi brats!
read the book by clayton Johnson its great liked the movie and seen the tv series on you tube the book is the best version.
I’ve seen it. Not in the movie theatre, but I saw it on cable waaay back in the days when MTV played music videos.
My friends were geeky, so we watched all of the sci-fi geek stuff.
Sure, I remember it. It got a lot of publicity in part because the Zero Population Growth thing was still pretty big; I was a tween at the time.
Finally saw it within the past 5 years or so, via Netflix. Turner Classic Movies has aired it within the past few months.
Michael York has a commentary track on the DVD release. At one point he is talking about something and on screen Jenny Agutter shows her breasts. York lets out a wistful “Oh, Jenny!!!”.
What I remember is that the movie was shown on network TV in 1977 (minus Jenny’s wonderful scene). At the time Farrah Fawcett was trying to leave Charlie’s Angels and her contract dispute was big news. So which ever TV network put on “Logan’s Run” during the promos for it would say “and making a rare television appearance this year, Farrah Fawcett”). You have thought she was the star of the film instead of fifth in the billing.
I have it on Blu-Ray. It’s one of my favorite sci-fi movies. Probably seen it a dozen times.
However…
The first time I saw it was when I was 7 or 8 years old. It was on TV. The Carousel scene in the beginning disturbed me. It haunted me for a long time.
It still kinda disturbs me.
I saw the 70s TV series before I saw the movie. My brother and sister, however, had seen the movie first. Both are incredibly dated.
Even though the claim is the Michael Bay movie The Island is based on the badly titled Parts: The Clonus Horror, it seemed to be more like a remake of Logan’s Run to me.
I’m 48 and undoubtedly saw it on TV before I hit high school because I remember the part about the carousel standing out and the age you’d have to die. The big thing for me though, was all the coolness associated with it being filmed next door to where I lived in Dallas. And of course now, loving all things 70s, I’ve finally seen the whole thing as an adult and totally appreciate it the same way I do Zanadu. The reminiscence of things past, the decor, the designs and the progressive thinking are all way too awesome to pass up.
However, I understand that most folks even ten years younger than me probably haven’t ever heard of it. It’s cheesy, overshadowed by Star Wars and incredibly slow-paced comparatively. Hell, there’s plenty out there who haven’t heard of 80s or early 90s films. If you don’t believe that, ask one about something that made a decent enough splash at the time. Like, say, Romancing the Stone, She’s All That or Murder in the First. For something to be truly transcendent these days, it has to be bigger than life. Not to mention for us old timers, we had a lot less to keep up with than our younger counterparts. Even then, being born in '68, I knew nothing of big bands, silent movies or a lot of other things that my elders would’ve been aghast at my lack of knowledge.
Face it, we’re all just getting on up there and kids are more interested in their hippity hop, jalopies and breaking curfew. Which is okay, as long as they stay off our lawn. 
In my opinion, 1968 to 1977 was the golden era of science fiction movies. In addition to the ones you mentioned, there were the Planet of the Apes series, A Clockwork Orange, Solaris, Dark Star, THX 1138, Westworld, Futureworld, Silent Running, Slaughterhouse Five, Sleeper, A Boy And His Dog, The Terminal Man, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Welcome to Blood City, Damnation Alley, Crimes of the Future, Demon Seed, Fantastic Planet, God Told Me To, Colossus: The Forbin Project, Phase IV, Zardoz, No Blade Of Grass, The Stepford Wives, and Barbarella. Now I’ll grant you, not all of these are great movies - some of them aren’t even good movies - but they were all trying to be genuine science fiction where the idea was the key factor. We lost that with Star Wars; science fiction just became a setting.
