6 premium screens

Manchester

There are 6 premium screens in Manchester, across IMAX, Dolby Cinema, Cineworld Superscreen and 4DX. The biggest picture is at Vue Manchester Printworks IMAX — 484 m² of lit screen, 190% more than the next room.

One room — Vue Manchester Printworks IMAX — can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Everywhere else in town crops to 1.90, which is roughly a quarter less picture on a film shot for it. Vue Manchester Printworks IMAX ran a 15/70mm print of The Odyssey — the only one in Manchester.

2 of 6 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. 1 of 6 has a projector confirmed by two independent sources.
