Where this comes from

Size confirmed ×2

We treat a figure as confirmed only when two independent sources agree.

Screen dimensions: confirmed by 2 sources
Projector: single source
Operating status: verified open

Sources disagree

The 2021 industry listing records this venue as xenon; we publish laseron the strength of a more recent source. IMAX has converted a great many screens to laser since that listing closed, so the newer record usually wins — but you should know the two don't match.

The projector here rests on a single source. It is the weakest field we hold across the network.
