Hong Kong

There are 10 premium screens in Hong Kong, across IMAX, China Film Giant Screen and Chain premium screen. The biggest picture is at OMNIMAX, Hong Kong Space Museum — 623 m² of lit screen, 170% more than the next room.

One room — OMNIMAX, Hong Kong Space Museum — can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Everywhere else in the country crops to 1.90, which is roughly a quarter less picture on a film shot for it.

Worth knowing before you book: Hong Kong Golden Harvest Megabox & IMAX never lights 18% of its screen. The fabric is bigger than the picture, which is why the ranking here is by lit area rather than by the dimensions cinemas advertise.

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.

5 of 10 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. 1 of 10 has a projector confirmed by two independent sources.
