⚠ This venue has closed (2021). The Fallsview Blvd IMAX closed permanently on 1 January 2021 and the building was demolished in May 2022 for a 12-storey hotel.

⚠ A 2021 industry listing recorded a 15/70mm film projector here, and we could find nothing to confirm or refute it. Most multiplex film systems were removed years ago; many museum ones still run. Rather than guess either way, this venue is scored as if the projector were unknown — so if it does still run film, the score below understates it substantially.
