Where this comes from
Single sourceWe treat a figure as confirmed only when two independent sources agree.
- Screen dimensions
- one source, listed twice — these copy each other
- · LF Examiner industry listing (2021)
- · imaxguide, the r/IMAX database ↗
- Projector

- Operating status
- verified open
Sources disagree
The 2021 industry listing records this venue as xenon; we publish laseron the strength of a more recent source. IMAX has converted a great many screens to laser since that listing closed, so the newer record usually wins — but you should know the two don't match.
The projector here rests on a single source. It is the weakest field we hold across the network.
