The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 October 2026.

⚠ This venue has closed (2024). Cinema Treasures records closure on 17 October 2024 and demolition in January 2025.

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.

⚠ LIEMAX — at 15.8m wide this is in the smallest tenth of IMAX screens worldwide (the median is 20 m), showing a 1.90 frame. Good projection can't buy back screen size.

IMAX digital — what most “IMAX” showings actually are

dark

Screen: 145 m²
Picture: 131 m²
Screen used: 90%

0.9 m of this screen's height — 10% 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.
