8 premium screens
Los Angeles
There are 8 premium screens in Los Angeles, across IMAX, Dolby Cinema, Cinemark XD and 4DX. The biggest picture is at IMAX Theater — 525 m² of lit screen, 31% more than the next room.
One room — IMAX Theater — 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. 2 of them ran 15/70mm prints of The Odyssey, which puts up about a third more picture than the digital showing in the same room.
5 of 8 publish their dimensions; the rest are scored on an estimate and marked as such. 1 of 8 has a projector confirmed by two independent sources.

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.
