⚠ Still trading, but no longer an IMAX venue. Rests on the LF Examiner vendor field alone: NEC (non-IMAX) large-format system installed 1998.

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.

IMAX digital — what most “IMAX” showings actually are

dark

Screen: 237 m²
Picture: 172 m²
Screen used: 73%

3.6 m of this screen's height — 27% 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.
