⚠ Still trading, but no longer an IMAX venue. Formula Kino Galereya (Ligovsky pr. 30a) trading; live schedule 04.08.2026 showing '2D Screen Max' and '2D Premium' formats, no IMAX.
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.
