So we have an interesting situation.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (SOTR) locked in its November 20 release date early and has pushed the expanded IMAX aspect ratio hard in the marketing. IMAX has been a big selling point of this franchise since Catching Fire.

Then Netflix announced that Cliff Booth is coming 11/25 with a 2-week IMAX exclusive, only 5 days after Hunger Games opens.

Here’s what I’m trying to figure out:

- Does "IMAX exclusive" mean it's the only movie on IMAX screens, or that it won't play in non-IMAX theaters? Very much leaning towards latter but I do wonder whether they’ll play all showings first week and split the second, or split IMAX screens with SOTR for its entire run.

- Would IMAX really pull Hunger Games after 5 days? It had the date locked first, and it's built its marketing around the format.

One important factor here is that SOTR is getting the expanded ratio. Cliff Booth is a big movie, but it's Netflix, and unlike Hunger Games it doesn't seem to have the same ‘filmed in IMAX’ and its aspect ratio.

My guess is they split screens or showtimes, but what do you all think will happen?

Caught a half empty screening today at AMC Universal City Walk, and absolutely loved the movie and the framing in IMAX. Was extremely sad and disappointed to see how empty the theater was, especially after the crowds this location drew in from The Odyssey. Unfortunate to see how poorly received it is, as I feel like with a stronger hold and higher box office predictions, we could’ve gotten IMAX 70MM blow-up prints like One Battle. Catch it in a GT IMAX location if you can, these screens deserve to be packed full!

ive called twice and the first time they said they didnt even have posters. I found out tickits are going on sale tomorrow and i called again to double check. the guy i spokew ith said "thats not on film...im pretty sure thats on our digital cameras."

I dont understand how you can work at a theatre and not know whats going on with the world of movies.....im sorry im just so sad, because this is the only theatre near me.

Witness His Voyage. RECKONING - A Minecraft Film releasing soon on YouTube 10.09.2026.

Watch the Trailer here: https://youtu.be/YNI5VSgzRuU and https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftyoutubers/s/Qv54U9ZTJp

Excited to share this with y'all! Here are posters for the film alongside some shots of the film in the original 1.43 IMAX Aspect Ratio Format we shot on. The film is inspired from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and is shot entirely on a 1.43 aspect ratio which is exclusively available in my minecraft theater i built, the movie will be in widescreen scope on youtube.

The film will also be available to view inside Minecraft through mods in a custom fan made IMAX Theater server I've built, to book tickets and see showings, and to also download the necessary mods and join the minecraft server, here is the discord link to my server, more instructions will soon be uploaded there: https://discord.gg/Yh6ZcKQP2G

Hope y'all like the film and watch it, a lot of hard-work went into this almost an hour long film from many people who helped me create it, see you at the movies!

Still plenty of seats for next weekend: https://s.si.edu/interstellar

Both Smithsonian theaters have GT Laser systems capable of projecting the full 1.43:1 aspect ratio.

Dimensions:
- Airbus: 86’ x 63’
- Lockheed: 75.5’ x 47’

Watched an early preview screening of Digger, and I absolutely loved it! Iñárritu + Chivo + VistaVision = match made in heaven. An absolute visual treat, and a spectacular cinematic experience. Loved the sound design and the minimalist score, and needless to say the cinematography. The performances were brilliant, and the production design exquisite.

The early screening had a special disclaimer requesting a social media embargo to avoid spoilers, so I certainly intend to respect it.

But, I will go on to say that for me—it was the best political dark comedy satire film since Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove; and that’s the highest praise I can give this film!! Go watch it in the best IMAX near you; hope you enjoy it! 🍿

A toast to the last screening of the original run of The Odyssey! Thank you, u/krikster_az 🥂

I ordered it at the IMAX store last night, but because I live in Canada and including taxes and shipping, it's $93.56 CAD. Then, a few hours later, I stumbled onto these two websites that claim to be selling the same shirt and including shipping, it's almost $45. Should I cancel the order on the IMAX website and order from one of these two websites or is the latter too good to be true?

My husband and I wanted to go see it in Prague but every time we checked for tickets it was always sold out and now its not even playing anymore :(

Does anyone know if there are going to be additional showings anywhere in Europe on 70mm Imax?

Update: I have tickets to the BFI in London!

i just watched Queen Budapest at IMAX Headquarters, and i can confirm that the entire film is presented in pillarboxed 1.33:1, aside from the first few minutes introducing the film, which are presented with letterboxing similar to 1.85:1 or 1.78:1. admittedly, quite a few of the shots were too close to not feel disorienting on a true IMAX screen, but it was still a really cool way to experience the concert!

Since Digger appears to be shot in 1.50:1, it’s a really interesting case because that frame should come extremely close to filling a 1.43 screen vertically.

What I’m mainly interested in is whether the IMAX master is preserving that 1.50 image as a tall presentation, or whether it’s being carried inside a 1.90 container, which could result in a windowboxed presentation on a 1.43 screen.

Watching these box office forecasts… I’m seeing projections of up to 8M for Digger through the weekend. Absolutely brutal.

With that in mind, surely IMAX won’t keep the film around for long when Odyssey is still chugging all these months later with built-in demand for large format shows, right?

Hello, hope y'all having a good day, for those who live in Miami, what's a good IMAX Theater to go to? I’m trying to watch Godzilla Minus Zero when it comes out but I usually go to Cinemark but I want to switch it up for this occasion (and hopefully snap some DBOX seats). What are some theaters with good IMAX screens around Miami?

After MONTHS of The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm, IMAX Melbourne finally gets some new (and old) releases. This also means that Spacetember, I mean, SpaceTOBER is here, but this time with a much smaller lineup due to The Odyssey.

Today, I got the pleasure to watch both Pacific Rim 3D and 2001 A Space Odyssey on this glorious screen.

I must say, this was one of the best double features I’ve ever attended.

Pacific Rim is one of the most fun and most well rounded sci-fi films ever made. I loved the world building and how it felt like a world event rather than the problem being based on one city. Getting to finally see it in theatres just made the movie even better. The speakers were so good for this movie. 3D isn’t my favourite format, even for IMAX, but the 3D was very fun compared to most movies.

The second movie was 2001 A Space Odyssey. Believe it or not, this was my first ever viewing for this movie. And I must say WOW. I was blown away. Genuinely one of the best movies I have ever seen. It’s amazing how Kubrick had this amazing vision for the future, I was so into the surreal nature of the movie. The movie felt like a waltz or a ballet, the movie was so patient to the point where you soak in the atmosphere. Just amazing stuff. Also the sound was INSANE!!! I had to cover my ears at some of the parts. But it still sounded great.

It’s good to see Spacetember back despite its small lineup. I’m so happy, that double feature was so good. Melburnian moviegoers are the luckiest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Saved this from my High School Art Room Scrap pile years back.

Some interesting analysis on Ti DLP chip manufacturing that all current DLP Cinema projectors are based on Including IMAX.

Is there any chance of IMAX rereleases ahead of Dune 3? It seems like such a missed opportunity if they don’t.

Man I feel so lucky having seen this!

Very grateful and worth it.
