6 premium screens
Dubai
There are 6 premium screens in Dubai, across IMAX and Dolby Cinema. The biggest picture is at Vox Cinemas & IMAX — 301 m² of lit screen, 8% more than the next room.
No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Dubai 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.
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.
