Operator

⚠ We could not confirm this venue is still operating — check before travelling. Paulucci Space Theatre; LF Examiner records a MegaSystems (non-IMAX) dome. No current college or theatre page could be reached, so status is left unknown rather than falsely closed.

This is a dome. The area above is the projected surface, worked out from the diameter by convention rather than measured — and it wraps above and behind you, so it isn't the same thing as the frontal area of a flat screen. Treat the score as a rough peer of the flat screens around it, not a like-for-like comparison.

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.
