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.
Choosing in Toulouse
If you are choosing tonight
It is Cinema Gaumont Labège & IMAX against Cité De L'Espace. 329 m² of lit picture against 311 m², 6% more — IMAX Commercial Laser against IMAX GT Dual Laser.
Size is not the whole answer here. Cité De L'Espace shows the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame and Cinema Gaumont Labège & IMAX crops to 1.90, so on a film shot with IMAX cameras the smaller room gives you a taller picture than the bigger one. That is the single most common way a bigger screen loses.
Screen you will be sold and never see
One room here advertises more screen than any film will light. Cinema Gaumont Labège & IMAX leaves 12% dark — 46 m² of fabric that never carries a picture.
