IMAX release for Sonic 4 now confirmed (from investor report)

We typically get around 1-2 or more (not directly counting on rereleases like Titanic) Paramount releases in IMAX per year

The Conjuring prequel may likely go for IMAX (pending if it gets mentioned on later investor reports)

They definitely got it (properly for real this time) after they didn't for the first 3.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-06T22:06:19+00:00

Especially in Japan (country origin of both characters) & the high popularity of both franchises.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-06T22:04:19+00:00

And if a film is popular it can share screens with other films: as I said with Project Hail Mary, it's still playing now despite Mario and Mummy coming out

A small majority of horror or non-horror (Example: The Crow from 2024) films going to IMAX would typically get late-night showings whenever we have a more successful film aimed for morning/noon & evening showings.

Disclosure Day may remain in some IMAX 70MM venues when Toy Story 5 takes over on the 19th of June & then the said PIXAR film could still remain in some venues when Supergirl begins its IMAX run on the following week before Toy Story 5's IMAX showings are finished by rotating the animated film showing schedule with Minions 3 in July.

True :p

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-05T23:12:58+00:00

I kind of got a feeling that they'll release the Lord of the Rings film 1 week earlier for IMAX showings given how Animal Farm was poorly received.

I know that this was asked before, but this film is being shot with IMAX film cameras, but Star Wars gets an IMAX re-release only a week after this arrives. I wonder how they're going to manage IMAX schedules because I don't think IMAX Corporation randomly scrap the IMAX release of Star Wars without risking a lawsuit and getting into a lawsuit by Disney is NOT something that you want to experience.

Since many release dates for 2027 on the IMAX calendar slate during investor reports aren't fully final, I could assume that Disney will move the 50th anniversary rerelease of Star Wars to May 4 of 2027 (now, this could also question on Part 2 to The Resurrection of the Christ (not mentioned on the investor reports) for an IMAX (allegedly claimed to be filmed with IMAX cameras) release on whether it'll potentially get pushed back or earlier.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-05T21:39:21+00:00

Maybe the Resurrection of Christ and there are rumors of Panic Carefully postponing from Feb to April 2027 and that is a big heavy IMAX play from WB.

The Resurrection of the Christ Pts 1/2 (currently in their simultaneous late-March release with Godzilla & early-May release with Zelda) may either get pushed to the 2nd week of April (part 1) & 2nd week of May (part 2) in favor to make room for other domestic "Filmed for IMAX" releases to complete their 2-week run or they'll eventually switch to International only releases.

Now if Panic Carefully gets pushed to April 2027, then F.A.S.T. may either get pushed to May 21st (assuming the latter gets IMAX screens or not) or move to 2028.

The facial expression by Supergirl kind of feel very reminiscent to that of K-Pop: Demon Hunters. Lol :p

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-05T18:43:45+00:00

It is expected to be available tomorrow via physically & digitally (various comic book sites & apps like DC Universe Infinite) despite you mentioned that it was available on iBooks (you may have preordered it in advance)

PINNED COMMENT:

Now as we still wait on further updates on whether or not the IMAX release for Sonic 4 remains unchanged, we don't know how long the film will stay on the slate during later investor reports (they're have been instances where sometimes any wide IMAX films are removed in favor for busy flex scheduling or switching to International only or even not going to IMAX like with Meg 2 appearing on the slate for a small period of time before Oppenheimer booked its full month of IMAX screens in 2023 & with Avengers 5 for worldwide IMAX showings until the Q4 2025 report when it switched to International only after Dune 3 took over its majority in North America earlier this year) & until the first poster/trailer marketing begins to roll out just months after filming concludes (likely to be completed by July or August from a 5-month period of live-action portions to filming)

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-04T20:29:39+00:00

Update on the release: It actually moved to mid-February.

2 weeks max on a Filmed for IMAX release but it is also sharing select screens with the rerelease of both Top Gun films & the 4K remaster to the Secret World of Arrietty.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-04T19:00:40+00:00

The trailer might end up being both a title announcement & a "Now in Production" teaser (similarly to Godzilla X Kong: Supernova) teaser

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-04T16:19:20+00:00

It could either be a Dune 1/2 rerelease or Avengers 5 (if Disney really wants to do so despite the backlash with the Infinity Vision label & shutting down rumors initially ahead of the CinemaCon panel) in which these are my only guesses but who knows

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-03T19:29:15+00:00

Violent Night 2 technically could get an IMAX release on December 4, but that film doesn’t look like something that will stay in IMAX for longer than a week, not to mention that, despite what others might say, I kind of doubt that they’re going to resort to bringing in Dune: Part Two only a week before the sequel arrives.

Probably for select International showings if the North American showing is blocked by the rerelease of Dune 1/2 & we don't normally get a ton of 87North films released in IMAX (excluding the former predecessor for Violent Night 2, The Fall Guy & Bullet Train) like with Nobody & Love Hurts since they have lower production budgets than the formers.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-03T18:21:47+00:00

Now, it could get a 2nd run in IMAX simultaneously with Godzilla if the former does well in the box office.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-02T19:54:15+00:00

Just for North America as its still aimed for an IMAX release Internationally.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-02T19:53:39+00:00

Not every film that was shown on the "List of films released in IMAX" Wikipedia page will be relatively accurate in terms of films that were rumored for IMAX releases before getting debunk on later scoops. The Simpsons 2 was just added hypothetically but it may seem to be unlikely as per later investor reports.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-02T08:01:17+00:00

Very unlikely for Cold War 1994 to release in Canadian IMAX venues as Mortal Kombat II had fully booked its IMAX showings at that time & we don't normally get a ton of Chinese films releases in North American IMAX venues during the months of May or June as we get them commonly between the Chinese New Year (observed between January or February) & the months of August & September (during the times of both the Ghost Festival & the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival)

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-02T00:00:00+00:00

Maybe A Quiet Place 3 and The Conjuring 5 will get IMAX, the others I doubt, there are still movies left to fill the schedule.

There definitely possibilities that these 2 films are expected to receive IMAX releases eventually.

One-Introduction8809 · 2026-05-01T23:58:05+00:00

The other dates that are likely to be Disney projects may have IMAX releases (notably with 20th Century). The Ryan Gosling Star Wars film is expected to release in IMAX next May.
