The projector here comes from a 2021 industry listing that we haven't been able to re-confirm. IMAX has converted a lot of screens to laser since — where we could check, 100 venues listed as xenon had been upgraded. Treat the score as indicative.
⚠ LIEMAX — at 15.7m wide this is in the smallest tenth of IMAX screens worldwide (the median is 20 m), showing a 1.90 frame. Good projection can't buy back screen size.
