Mexico

There are 26 premium screens in Mexico, IMAX. The biggest picture is at Descubre Museo Interactivo de Ciencia — 679 m² of lit screen, 9% more than the next room.

4 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.

Worth knowing before you book: Cinépolis IMAX Perisur never lights 36% 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.

2 of these are domes, scored on projected surface area — not a like-for-like comparison with a flat screen, and noted as such on the pages.

17 of 26 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. One room is digital with the generation never established — we say so rather than guessing which laser it is.
