Operator

We went looking for this one. ⚠ The 2021 listing records a xenon projector here, but this screen is 24.4m wide and IMAX specified that system for screens no wider than 21.3 m. Nobody has stated the projector directly, so we don't assert one — the score treats it as unknown rather than assuming the older, dimmer system. This isn't pending — the operator doesn't publish a lamp type and neither does IMAX, so unless the venue says otherwise, nobody publishes it.

IMAX digital — what most “IMAX” showings actually are

dark

Screen: 344 m²
Picture: 313 m²
Screen used: 91%

1.3 m of this screen's height — 9% 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.
