BusinessWire Press Release:IMAX 70mm (FILM) is being installed at Regal LA Live notfabio May 19, 09:39

Also the formerly Arclight Sherman Oaks! {nm} notfabio May 19, 09:40

That one is LiMax. Only LA is 70MM. nm Antibody May 19, 10:27

Apparently they're throwing a 70mm projector in there (It used to have a non-IMAX, 70mm one I believe) notfabio May 19, 10:45

The BW press release only mentioned 70MM in LA. nm Antibody May 19, 10:50

fwiw 70mm is the size of the film and you can project it on a liemax screen. Obviously the bigger the screen the better it is for detail {nm} Moviesnob May 19, 11:26

announced to be even bigger than CityWalk's {nm} spaghetti freddy May 19, 13:40

I wish they'd give LieMax an actual name so people know right away what they're getting...like IMAX 190 or something tealfan May 19, 11:27

Quintessential late capitalism! 90% of punters have no idea {nm} Moviesnob May 19, 11:35

Aziz Ansari went viral complaining about LIEMAX (in 2009!), they invited him out to their office and he shut up about it. notfabio May 19, 12:21

And yes, IMAX never actually followed up with their education program they promised they would do {nm} notfabio May 19, 12:22

there's only around 20 true IMAX screens in the US that can show 1.43:1. Thankfully Austin has one {nm} Moviesnob May 19, 12:42

And there's only maybe 5 or 6 movies a year that take advantage of the wider format... TheWeekendWarrior May 19, 15:41

I wish a Regal in NYC would install any IMAX.. but I guess they're committed to AMC and Regal is committed to RPX. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior May 19, 10:24

Contractual radius of allowed IMAX installs/builds, it has shrunk a ton, but AMC's IMAX likely still has a significant guarantee. {nm} notfabio May 19, 12:26

AMC also had an exclusive on Dolby Screens that expired last year I think. Regal was *not* happy. {nm} notfabio May 19, 12:27
