5 premium screens
Mexico City
There are 5 premium screens in Mexico City, IMAX. The biggest picture is at Cinépolis IMAX Perisur — 255 m² of lit screen.
No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Mexico City crops to 1.90 or wider, so a film shot with IMAX cameras will be missing about a quarter of its picture wherever you see it.
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.
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.
