SchumacherFTW Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Every digital IMAX in the UK is getting it next thursday night, that's around 10/12 odeon's and 3 cineworld's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 THG opened to $10.2M on 268 screens. That's pretty good because I don't think they really had much of a chance to advertise it was showing in IMAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I don't follow IMAX that closely, but I know that's huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 I don't follow IMAX that closely, but I know that's huge.It's a big number, but not epic. A few films opened higher in IMAX. This was playing on 268 screens, so for it to open to $152M, I would actually say that a $10M IMAX opening is about average in this case. But, as mentioned, they also didn't do much to promote IMAX since I think the one-week engagement was sort of a last minute occurrence.

SchumacherFTW Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's reasonably impressive because it was only in digital theatres, none of the massive, epic, 70mm theatres. According to BoG it's a new digital only record. So that's pretty impressive actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I hope if the expand they'll build a couple of real IMAX's alongside the dozens of digitals. Digital's good, but nothing can beat the incredible sequences from TDK and MI4 when they're shown in true IMAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Does Brave not have IMAX? Or Snow White/GI Joe?The website has every other big opener from Avengers to The Dark Knight Rises. Also missing Ice Age 4 actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Didn't know where to put this, so here seemed right.The BFI IMAX in London, the UK's flagship one, has announced today that they're going to be adding a digital IMAX projector to use alongside it's 70mm one at the end of the next month. Is this a signal that we are really about to lose true 70mm/15pf IMAX for good in the near future? http://www.bfi.org.uk/node/183 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They plan to keep 70mm projector as well. Excited to see the new silver screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 They're planning to keep the film projector until they can get the new laser projector in the next couple of years. I'm not sure I can imagine laser projection being as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acetabulum7 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They need a new IMAX vs LIEMAX website. The one I go to is nice, but just a little out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
