5 premium screens
Phoenix
There are 5 premium screens in Phoenix, across Dolby Cinema, IMAX and Harkins Cine Capri. The biggest picture is at Harkins Scottsdale 101 - Cine Capri — 194 m² of lit screen, 40% more than the next room.
No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Phoenix 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.
