This is a dome. The area above is the projected surface, worked out from the diameter by convention rather than measured — and it wraps above and behind you, so it isn't the same thing as the frontal area of a flat screen. Treat the score as a rough peer of the flat screens around it, not a like-for-like comparison.
Why IQ 62
25 m dome, scored on projected surface · full marks at 700 m² · one source
IMAX Laser for Dome · 2 independent sources
a dome has no frame aspect ratio, so this axis does not apply
no sound specification published

Sources disagree
The 2021 industry listing records this venue as laser; we publish laser-dualon 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.
