Sweden

There are 6 premium screens in Sweden, across IMAX, IMAX and Nordic chains - flagship halls, no in-house PLF brand. The biggest picture is at Swedish Museum of Natural History — 623 m² of lit screen, 169% more than the next room.

One room — Swedish Museum of Natural History — 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: Filmstaden Scandinavia - Salong 1 (IMAX) never lights 19% 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 6 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. 2 of 6 have a projector confirmed by two independent sources.
