Filmstaden Scandinavia - Salong 1 (IMAX)
Stockholm · SwedenSingle source
PremiumCinemaIQ rates this IMAX (reference category, for calibration only) room C, 37/100 — a modest premium screen, 199 m² of lit picture, with 19% of the screen never lit. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 September 2026.
Sweden's largest cinema screen: 21.82m x 11.34m, 419 seats (some sources say 421), Sweden's first commercial IMAX with a curved screen. Dimensions verified to two decimal places on Swedish Wikipedia and corroborated by bioprogrammet.nu. Included because it is the benchmark Nordic chains measure against in the absence of any Nordic in-house PLF.

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 37
⌷ 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.
