⚠ This venue has closed (2023). Landmark's 135 Gateway Park Drive site, the region's only IMAX, held its final play date on 5 October 2023 and is listed as closed on Cinema Treasures.

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.

IMAX digital — what most “IMAX” showings actually are

dark

Screen: 150 m²
Picture: 140 m²
Screen used: 93%

0.6 m of this screen's height — 7% of it — stays dark for an 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.
