PremiumCinemaIQ rates this IMAX room D, 39/100 — a small room carrying a premium badge — it fails the large-format premise on size, whatever the projector, 126 m² of lit picture, with 20% of the screen never lit. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 5 November 2026.

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, so a 2021 label is a 2021 state rather than a current one. Treat the score as indicative.
⚠ LIEMAX — at 15.5m 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.
Why IQ 39
126 m² of lit picture · full marks at 700 m² · one source
IMAX Commercial Laser · recorded 2021 · no source on file
1.90:1 · the widest frame this room can show
no sound specification published
⌷ Size is scored on the picture, not the fabric. This screen is taller than its projector's frame, so a chunk of it is never lit and doesn't count.

2.0 m of this screen's height — 20% 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.

Where this comes from

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.
No source on file names the projector in this room. It is the weakest field we hold across the network.
