IMAX digital — what most “IMAX” showings actually are

dark

Screen: 129 m²
Picture: 122 m²
Screen used: 94%

0.5 m of this screen's height — 6% of it — stays dark for an IMAX 1.90 showing. The projector here can't produce the full 1.43 frame, so the top and bottom of the screen are never used at all.

Single source

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

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.
