Operator

⚠ We could not confirm this venue is still operating — check before travelling. Only one Huaibei venue on imax.com ('huaibai-wanda-imax-0'); no Jinyi. Unconfirmed.

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.

IMAX digital — what most “IMAX” showings actually are

dark

Screen: 222 m²
Picture: 211 m²
Screen used: 95%

0.6 m of this screen — 5% of it — stays dark for a 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.
