I apologize ahead of time in case this has already been said, don't ever
have the patience to get through all of replies to any question. But to the
best of my knowledge regarding theaters with Arc lights (which I am assuming
xenon would mean) all you need to do is specify what color temperature your
print was made at. Now all the projectionist has to do is put a color filter
in to compensate. Much as you would while shooting.
And I also belive most 16mm prints are timed to be shown on standard Tungson
bulbs, unless noted otherwise by the filmmaker. As most 35mm prints are
timed for arc light, as they are expected to be shown in those bigger
theaters.
But as long as you specify on your film what it is I don't think you should
have any issues.
