3 premium screens
South Gate
There are 3 premium screens in South Gate, across IMAX, 4DX and ScreenX. The biggest picture is at Edwards South Gate Stadium 20 & IMAX — 165 m² of lit screen.
No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in South Gate 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.
Worth knowing before you book: Edwards South Gate Stadium 20 & IMAX never lights 18% of its screen. The fabric is bigger than the picture, which is why the ranking here is by lit area rather than by the dimensions cinemas advertise.
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.
