Novi · United StatesSingle source
PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Emagine Super EMAX / Super EMX (and standard EMX) room C, 44/100 — a modest premium screen, 328 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 21 September 2026.
Michigan, USA. The original Super EMAX and the venue most often called one of the largest screens in the US: 92ft wide x over 48ft tall (28.0m x 14.6m), created by knocking two auditoriums together in a $5m+ renovation. Christie 4K RGB laser; 64-channel Dolby Atmos with QSC Core 110f DSP, DPA-Q amps and SR surrounds. 300 power recliners with a front row of cuddle chairs, 7ft row spacing. Opened 15 Dec 2017 with Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Emagine's CEO claimed it was 'only comparable nationwide to the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX' - that comparison is marketing, but the 92 x 48ft figure is verified across four independent sources.

Respectable, but not the full IMAX proposition.

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.
Why IQ 44
⌷ 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.
