10 premium screens
Harbin
There are 10 premium screens in Harbin, IMAX. The biggest picture is at Heilongjiang Science and Technology Museum — 623 m² of lit screen, 10% more than the next room.
2 rooms can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame, which is the thing worth travelling for if a film was shot with IMAX cameras. The rest crop to 1.90.
One of these is a dome, scored on projected surface area — not a like-for-like comparison with a flat screen, and noted as such on the pages.
Ranked
Scored on the picture each room actually lights, not the fabric it is painted on. A tilde means the projector rests on a single dated source.
