We may see IMAX Enhanced with Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Here are all the IMAX Enhanced discs Sony has released so far:

• The Angry Birds Movie 2
• Zombieland: Double Tap
• A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
• Charlie's Angels (2019)
• Jumanji: The Next Level
• Bad Boys for Life

[sapiendut]

And the IE DTSX soundtracks of those movies are phenomenal.

That doesn't answer his question. None of those movies, even under IMAX Enhanced, open the ratio in any capacity in them if I recall right.

Yes, that's what I was asking

[sapiendut]

It does actually. The discs’ audio side are in IE version of DTS:X, which is a requirement for IE. In fact, 1.9:1 is NOT part of the IE must-have (based on the IE seminar done by Xperi at CEDIA a couple of years ago)

Just too bad they're knocked down from the original 24.1.10

If these IMAX 12-channel mixes are a fold down of a theatrical Atmos master, they were actually capable of 62.2, so that's even worse.

AFAIK you can't use the Atmos objects in a DTS:X home track, the track must be remixed from scratch, at least everything above the base 7.1 layer.

There are DV streaming Atmos versions of every IE disc and those use the theatrical mixes as their starting point.

What's interesting is that DTS:X signals on IMAX Enhanced discs are specially tagged to make IMAX Enhanced sound devices like your SC-LX704 display "IMAX."

[sapiendut]

Yes and it will do slight adjustments in bass management and levels on rears, centre and LFE

Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released in 1.90:1 in IMAX theaters. The entire movie, not just select scenes.

IMAX is even referring to it as their "exclusive Expanded Aspect Ratio":

Spider-Man: No Way Home will feature IMAX’s exclusive Expanded Aspect Ratio for the entirety of the film. That’s 26% more picture – beginning to end. Experience It In IMAX, December 17.

It's interesting how after Infinity War and Endgame some of the marvel movies are just getting filmed the entire runtime in 1.90 as expanded picture.

[unberechenbar]

I wonder if it will be released in that aspect ratio on disc.

I don't believe any D+ exclusive content has been released on disc...ever.
