  1. There was a time when a lot of multiplexes in the US that Mon-Thu they didn't have shows before 3-5p then Fri-Sun open all day, daytimes in particlular weekdays are very quiet can often have 0 attendence or just couple people. These days they tend to just run sessions all day to give people the option of coming to see even if it may not be financially viable (bit more financially viable with digital as there isn't ,in most cases the additional overhead of paying for projectionists). The Imax screens especially ones can run 15/70 would have projectionists on duty
  2. Yeah I like Lincoln Square been there quite a few times Both Imax (been in Imax projection booth way back in 90's) and few times regular cinema including what use to be called "lowes" screen the biggest of the convention screens (mentioned in the article as 876 seater, 70mm capable etc) Yeah and with the whole Wxh or HxW the post on here that lists the UK Imax screens with images the dimensions are WxH, the post the shows LS Imax compared to Empire 25 image has the dimensions HxW
  3. You've got height & width around wrong way LS is 97ft wide 76ft height, Sydney 117wide 97height, Sydney Imax has been Worlds biggest since the day it opened, but you also look at is as feet/Meters squared so what is the overall screen size I can understand WxH or HxW as in different area(for lack better term) one may give Width first an other Height first ----post Extract the measurements are (WxH, ranked by Ft squ) This is the data endedup finding on file, need to check some updates 1-Imax Darling Harbour , Sydney Australia 117.1ft x 97.4 (11405) (49% bigger than #2) 2-Imax Melbourne Museum, Melbourne Australia 100ft x 76 (7600) 3-AMC Lincoln Square 97ftx 76 (7372) Now there are reports that Metreon in SF is same as LS and also with Melbourne it apparently is slight longer in width but same height as others 4-SM Mall of Asia, Manila 108ft x65ft (7020) 5-Prasads Imax Hyderbad India 95ft x72 (6840) (one of the highest grossing cinemas in the world) 6-Miramar Imax Taipei 91ft x 68 (6188) 7-CS Warren 14, Moore OK 100ft x 60(6000) (reported as being world biggest digital Imax) 8-Regal Irvine Spectrum, Irvine CA 90ftx65ft (5850) 9-BFI London 85ft x 65 (5525) 10-CS Warren West 17, Witchita KS 90ft x 60 (5400) and California Science Centre 11-AMC citywalk, Universal city CA 81ft x59ft (4779) 12- Pac TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood 94ft x 46 (4324) CPLX Scotiabank Toronto Width 90ft not sure height
  4. its correct 117.1 is 35.7m and 97.4 29.7m, either way its huge, a couple years ago they replaced the screen it took something like 30 riggers to do it.
  5. Take a look at page 1 msg #20 in 1994 when it opened it was but Sydney opened 1996 117.1ft x 97.4ft (its basically as high as LS is wide)
  6. They do, for example Studios have what is commonly called "intercompany rate" that they use when converting from Local to $us it is usually set monthly in advance and at end of the month that months rate might have to adjust +/- (if it changes everything is recalculated for the month)
  7. I apparently took the % chg thought BH6 would do but took it off IS number thinking it was the BH6 number LOL great day I was having One day someones going to have Rth what went wrong thread.....dont get any ideas lol
  8. How high ups the roof can it take a 100ft screen
  9. Yeah a really really big Minimax(what I've always called them ) overall 3rd biggest of the Digital Imax locations just behind 2 Warren ones. It's also the only Imax thats allowed to run conventional film as well so they can still have the big Hollywood premieres of films not available in Imax Back in the day didn't it use to be THX certified (although there were a lot that were that they ended up letting sound issue go unresolved)
