The Big Picture These days, IMAX is synonymous with cinema and cinephiles, known for its breathtaking visuals and all-encompassing sound system. It conjures up ceiling-to-floor towering screens and probably also calls to mind certain filmmakers like Academy Award-winner Christopher Nolan, whose contributions to the format's growth over the years are irrefutable.
IMAX Expansion Plans Across the Globe COLLIDER: I've wondered this for a while: will IMAX ever have more than one screen at a movie theater? What is the status of more IMAX screens around the world? Do you foresee in the next two to five years a doubling of IMAX screens, 30% more? Like in Australia there are very limited screens.That's what I mean. So, what's the status of more screens around the world and what area of the world do you think is going to get more sooner?
GELFOND: I would say Lincoln Square in New York, partly because it's been there for so long and I just love it. I'm comfortable there. I spoke to Hoyte van Hoytema and we had a great conversation about IMAX cameras, but I'm curious, how did you figure out how to make the cameras 30% quieter? What is it like behind the scenes right now with all the people that want to get an IMAX release date and the limited number of screens and dates available? How far out as a company are you working on 2026 and 2027 right now?
DOLCI: I would say it's already happening to an extent. I will quote my beloved BFI IMAX theater, they often do re-releases. So it's more about what the cinema operator feels that they can market and communicate. That's a big piece when you do a very limited re-release: how do you tell people that they can go and watch it?
You announced a whole bunch of movies for 2025. Which of those films, if any, are being shot with IMAX film cameras? DOLCI: Given we are still at a relatively low penetration level, or very low in some markets, I think our priority mission is to get an IMAX theater to be able to serve as many people as possible. Like, I want to get a theater to someone who lives in Perth in Australia so they don't have to spend hours on a plane to watch an IMAX movie. In my world, that's a very important priority.
DOLCI: What they do, it's actually quite interesting because you do the last episode of the previous season, followed by the first episode of the new season in IMAX as a two-hour event.
