Tokyo

There are 19 premium screens in Tokyo, across IMAX, Dolby Cinema, ScreenX and 4DX. The biggest picture is at Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro IMAX — 465 m² of lit screen, 133% more than the next room.

One room — Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro IMAX — 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.

9 of 19 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. No projector here is yet confirmed by two independent sources, so treat the scores as indicative.

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.
