Further improvements to their approach continued through the years, leading up to the creation of their Laser 4K projector systems. Soon after that, the Cinesphere Theatre in Toronto put in the first permanent installation, and the rest is history. The first IMAX movie, Tiger Child, showed them all how it was done at the Expo ’70 event in Japan. Their efforts fell short of expectations, however, despite using multiple projectors and other smart techniques. Well before the creation of IMAX in the early 70s, many companies tried to widen the images produced by 35mm film.

This approach allows them to vividly display the movie 8.3 times larger than is possible with 35mm film.

To support that screen size, their dual projectors run the 70mm film horizontally. IMAX uses large-format motion picture technology to clearly project films on 59-by-79-foot screens. On top of that, steep stadium seating gives moviegoers the ultimate view of all the action while high-definition surround sound brings the film to life. Dual projectors ensure every last image comes through in the absolute best clarity. IMAX is self-proclaimed as “The World’s Most Immersive Movie Experience.” Their proprietary technology allows them to show films on 79-foot-tall screens in ultra-high resolution. Overall, their efforts have earned them 364 screens across 37 countries and many more will likely come in the future. The sheer innovation of their screen design has earned ScreenX many major global partners, including two leaders in the US: AMC and Regal. Now ten years in the making, this new format is all about: Screen X aims to change how people all over the world enjoy the latest blockbuster flicks. There’s a lot more room to grow, too, opening the doors for even more filmmakers to incorporate three camera views into their movie magic. By the time of that film’s release, this movie format had already landed in 37 countries, resulting in 364 screens for moviegoers to enjoy worldwide.

With its iconic dogfighting scenes, Top Gun: Maverick got people talking about ScreenX even more.
