Wanda Cinema IMAX GT, South China Mall

Dongguan · ChinaEstimated

PremiumCinemaIQ rates this IMAX room A, 76/100 — a genuinely strong large-format room, with no published dimensions, so the size score rests on an estimate, and it can show the full 1.43:1 frame. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 September 2026.

China's first IMAX GT dual-laser cinema, a converted 2005-era 15/70 giant screen at the South China Mall.
