Author Topic: future of IMAX ??? Steve Matz Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 672 From: Billings, Montana, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 11-06-2013 12:27 PM                     just watched an interesting clip on U-Tube of the oldest Imax projector going through its threading operation. Brings me to my question.With the Digital taking over what is the future of these theaters? I don't even think we have one in Montana.Are the existing ones also being converted to Digital operation? Also how was the film shipped to those theaters, length wise and what is the actual width of IMAX film.TIA...sm  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 11-06-2013 02:24 PM                     Steve you should click on forums and then Large Format Forums to get caught up on the Imax Liemax saga. It's been discussed endlessly.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-06-2013 05:46 PM                        Steve - there is an Imax in West Yellowstone, but according to their website, the theater is closed. Kind of weird ... it says "open year round" but then "the theater is closed" below that, so it must be out of business.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 11-06-2013 05:55 PM                     Maybe they can install some hidden subs to make real experience more like the one in the movie .  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-06-2013 07:22 PM                     What u tube video the oldest IMAX projector was ontario place cinesphere  |  IP: Logged
