Poland

There are 16 premium screens in Poland, across IMAX, 4DX and ScreenX. The biggest picture is at Cinema City IMAX Katowice — 308 m² of lit screen, with almost nothing in it against Cinema City IMAX Lodz.

No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Poland 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: Cinema City IMAX Poznan never lights 32% 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.

6 of 16 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. 1 of 16 has a projector confirmed by two independent sources. 4 rooms are digital with the generation never established — we say so rather than guessing which laser it is.
