12 premium screens
Paris
There are 12 premium screens in Paris, across IMAX, Dolby Cinema, Heritage single-screen picture palaces and Chain premium screen. The biggest picture is at La Geode — 410 m² of lit screen, 58% more than the next room.
One room — La Geode — can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Everywhere else in town crops to 1.90, which is roughly a quarter less picture on a film shot for it.
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.
3 of 12 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. 1 of 12 has a projector confirmed by two independent sources.
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.
