There are currently more than 185 permanent IMAX theatres operating in 25 countries. There is a backlog of more than 75 theatre systems scheduled to open during the next few years. Our theatre seats 400 and accommodates the physically challenged in accordance with ADA regulations. The screen is flat but has a slight compound curvature that extends beyond the field of geometric recognition and to the edge of peripheral vision. This, combined with the pitch angle of the seating area, provides a full, unobstructed view from every seat, even for small children.
IMAX technology uses the largest commercial film format in motion picture history.
Conventional movie theatres run their 70mm reels from top to bottom. IMAX technology has turned the film on its side, resulting in an image three times larger. The final format is ten times the size of the standard 35mm film that one would see in a normal movie theatre. There are more than 130 large-format film titles. The theatre uses the most advanced projector ever built.
