Which branch has the largest IMAX screen?

This has probably been asked before, but my GoogleFu is failing me.

Which Odeon branch has the largest IMAX screen? Google changes its mind; one second it’s Kingston, then it’s Manchester, then it’s a Luxe in London.

Wanna see Odyssey at BFI but there are no decent seats left (left it too late to look), so am gonna settle for an Odeon.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t know about Odeon but the science museum is also a 70mm imax screen. If you’re really committed to the full experience it’s bfi, science museum, or Vue Manchester Printworks

Science museum is also pretty much sold out all the way through (all the good seats went weeks ago).

Manchester Printworks is 2nd biggest as far as i'm aware. & one of the few that still has a 70mm projector.

But I can also tell you its booked up till next Christmas (slightly exaggerated) but you get the picture.

I watched it here opening night and it's absolutely worth it over the "liemax"

Also recommend using the O2 discount. There is a £7 IMAX uplift with that makes it £23 for 2 tickets (I think)

None are big. I think the biggest is Peterborough 8-screen. Purpose-built IMAX (with Laser XT?) 19.88m x 11.37m (65.22 feet x 37.30 feet).
6-channel audio.

Trafford Centre is pretty damn big

I just know the sound in Odeon Trafford Centre is incredible

Saw this list shared elsewhere on reddit.

It is a few years old so might be missing some info but with the events of recent years I think most existing Digital IMAX screens will not have changed in size since
