PremiumCinemaIQ rates this IMAX room D, 25/100 — a small room carrying a premium badge — it fails the large-format premise on size, whatever the projector, 114 m² of lit picture, with 14% of the screen never lit. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 October 2026.

⚠ This venue has closed (2023). Regal Tall City IMAX & RPX closed 20 July 2023; the building was later bought by Cinergy Entertainment.

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 14.7m 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.

⌷ 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

dark

Screen: 132 m²
Picture: 114 m²
Screen used: 86%

1.3 m of this screen's height — 14% 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.
