3 premium screens

Boston

There are 3 premium screens in Boston, across IMAX and Dolby Cinema. The biggest picture is at Museum of Science Boston — 634 m² of lit screen, 279% more than the next room.

No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Boston 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.

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.

2 of 3 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. 1 of 3 has a projector confirmed by two independent sources.

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.
