⚠ Still trading, but no longer an IMAX venue. Rests on the LF Examiner vendor field alone: Barco (non-IMAX) system recorded for this venue.

Nobody we can cite states what projects the picture in this room, so the projector scores at the floor — neither credited with laser nor assumed to be xenon. Treat the score as indicative.

* This venue has never published its screen dimensions. Size is scored on a deliberately conservative estimate, so an unmeasured screen can't out-rank a measured one on guesswork.
