⚠ This venue has closed (2023). Played its final movie 26 January 2023 in the Regal/Cineworld closure wave (Daily Herald, Cinema Treasures, BigScreen Cinema Guide).
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.
Why IQ 32
239 m² of lit picture · full marks at 700 m² · one source
IMAX Digital Xenon · recorded 2021 · one source
1.90:1 · the widest frame this room can show
no sound specification published
⌷ Size is scored on the picture, not the fabric. This screen is taller than its projector's frame, so a chunk of it is never lit and doesn't count.

IMAX digital — what most “IMAX” showings actually are
- Screen
- 343 m²
- Picture
- 239 m²
- Screen used
- 70%
4.9 m of this screen's height — 30% 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.
