wafi · 05-18-2009, 04:52 PM

Or Imax-Lite for that matter? Anyone with info will be much appreciated.

I noticed my theater listings for Thurs do not have an IMAX (lite) listing, at my theater Night @ the Museum 2 is in IMAX.

Yeah I got the same here....pretty disappointed.

philco_3 · 05-18-2009, 08:18 PM

I know its only up on Thursday night. So with that being said I'm trying like all hell to make it out to see it Thursday night.

Ditto

Even know I will probably go see night at the museum...But probably not on imax

VinnAY · 05-18-2009, 08:26 PM

I wonder if we'd get it ala TDK, released to IMAX near the end of the mainstream theatricals. I remember TDK being this way, went back specifically to see it in IMAX.

TDK came out the same day as the Normal showings came out.

I'm not seeing it at either of our nearby Imax-Lite or Imax for the weekend. This sucks!

DeadDog · 05-19-2009, 12:20 AM

Yeah, it's not playing at the one near me either. Just Night at the Museum.

MAPdead · 05-19-2009, 12:30 AM

The IMAX that is not far from me sucks they didn't even get Star Trek

Rantlers · 05-22-2009, 12:39 AM

So, there's no link for "Terminator Salvation - IMAX" on fandango. Also, there's no mention of it on IMAX's website but when I Google it there are plenty of old articles about it being "blown up" for IMAX theaters. Any updates on what's going on here?

SlmShdy1 · 05-22-2009, 01:04 AM

It was never supposed to come out in IMAX.

Why were you expecting it? I think Warner's next movie coming out in IMAX is Harry Potter.

SlmShdy1 · 05-22-2009, 01:15 AM

"Liemax"

Then why the hype?

Yeah, I saw some of the same articles stating iMAX for TS. It is clueless why they won't be showing it. It was the perfect film for it. Oh well...

RiseDarthVader · 05-22-2009, 04:25 AM

Because Warner Bros. didn't actually book it in with IMAX. Fox did with Night At The Museum 2. So either the interview was fake or Warner Bros. went through the whole DMR process with IMAX and forgot to book the cinemas. Which is a very stupid and expensive mistake.

SlmShdy1 · 05-22-2009, 04:29 AM

Exactly. Night at the Museum comes out next week, which would only give Terminator a week in IMAX. Heck, Star Trek is only on a two week run. All those sites posted a rumor back in January but Warner never followed through.

katharsis · 05-22-2009, 05:26 AM

Went to watch Star Trek last week on IMAX and my theater advertised Terminator to be next up, now when I check the listings online its all about Night at the Museum... I am pissed!

For whatever reason, this is happening everywhere.

Did you see it in an IMAX-lite theater or a real 8-story-tall IMAX theater? An IMAX-lite theater will show regular trailers but real IMAX theaters will only show upcoming IMAX movie trailers (sometimes none at all).
