How far is the bottom and top of your screen from the floor? Not measuring the frame.

Mine will be about 28 inches from floor to a height of 78 inches. Sitting in a recliner puts my eyes at 40 inches. This puts 21 inches below eyes and 38 inches above eyes, so, I guess that's a little more than 1/3 up from the bottom of the screen.

According to these measurements, your screen will have to be about 40 inches from floor and 90 inches to top of screen. 90 inches = 7'5", about a foot more than I have available.

If you sat 10 foot from this screen, and lowered your screen 1 foot. It would be exactly what I am looking at. Do you think this would be doable?

Forget about the 2nd row. I won't have one. I may even only do 1 row of 2 theater seats, with ability to put a portable, or chairs on rollers at either side, and behind, if needed. Majority of viewing is either alone or with one other.
