⌷ Size is scored on the picture, not the fabric. This screen is wider than the frame projected onto it, so bands at the sides are never lit and don't count.

Where this comes from

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.
