List of Supposed REAL IMAX Screens Across the United States

[krazeyeyez]

Thanks, i have seen this list before and while at the time at least one theatre was outdated and one was going digital () thanks to the new dark knight movie and nolan pushing IMAX as opposed to 3D i have found a few articles that seem to confirm one theatre i thought had gone digital did not. I will have to follow up with a call but it would be nice to have a theatre option in addition to the museum i normally go to as they rarely get hollywood movies.

Either way thanks for bringing this back to my attention.

There are a couple of IMAX venues that were once digital-only but have now installed 15/70 film projectors. The Cinemark IMAX in Dallas is like this. These screens are smaller than the traditional museum IMAX screens, though they are showing real film.

Most "IMAX" venues nowadays are the digital LIEMAXes that everyone complains about since AMC has been very aggressive about installing these in their multiplexes. To be fair, the screens are pretty big -- just not as big as a museum IMAX screen.

Are you sure they are going digital to film, because i was under the impression it was the opposite since digital is more cost effective and convenient.

Also i will look for the articles but i remember reading those AMC screens that are "pretty big" are a trick of theatre construction, rows are removed and the seats "pushed up" to give the impression of a larger screen when they are the same as the rest. AMC has done a disservice to the brand although the brand itself was fading regardless.

"It is a multiplex-style Imax, created by removing the existing screen and the first few rows of seats and adding a new, slightly curved Imax screen closer to the audience. "

EDIT: it appears your cinemark did make the change TO film which i find strange, anyone know of any others that actually did this.
