Author Topic: Harry Potter Imax release date?? Tom Tomlinson Film Handler Posts: 21 From: Port Washington, NY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 06-30-2009 09:14 AM                     Hi, Is the Imax opening on July 29th (advertised) or the 15th like the 35mm release? Fandango is taking orders for the 15th in the Lincoln Square NYC imax. Or is nyc special? thanks, Tom  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-30-2009 10:21 AM                     The delay is due to the contract to run TRANSFORMERS: WHATEVER for a certain number of weeks. This got all messed up when Warners moved Harry Potter from last Thanksgiving season. The film will open in IMAX on July 15 at the AMC Century City 15 (in Los Angeles), Henry Crown OMNIMAX (in Chicago), and AMC Loews Lincoln Square (in New York. All others open on July 29. (The Omnimax in Chicago is at the Science Museum.) FirstShowing.net also reports that the first special IMAX 3-D section is the first 12 minutes of the film. (Many of the comments on the linked site talk about Fake Imax.)  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 06-30-2009 07:31 PM                        Oh, and if it seems weird that the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago plays the IMAX print early with the LA and NYC locations (rather than some megaplex), it's because Harry Potter: The Exhibition is currently on display there.  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 07-03-2009 06:00 PM                     The BFI IMAX in London are playing it from the 15th as well, probably because Transformers 2 came out a week early here and Harry Potter always smacks it at the box office in the UK.  |  IP: Logged Sam King Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 07-04-2009 01:21 AM                     Too bad the L.A. engagment is at a minimax, and it a minimax that doesn't even reach the full 58 feet! It's like 53 feet or something, pathetic!  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 07-05-2009 07:49 PM                     Is there a difference between minimax and liemax? One chain here is advertising HP6 liemax shows in the press already.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
