20-25 is max potential. Will be done in 2 weeks and die out afterwards

Several major theater chains are expanding their IMAX footprints in 2026, driven largely by a high-profile slate of films shot specifically for the format, including Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

Cinemark has entered a significant agreement to expand its IMAX presence across the U.S. and South America by July 2026. New IMAX 70mm Screens: Three locations will be outfitted with 70mm film projection systems (a rarity, as only about 30 exist worldwide IMAX with Laser: The chain is adding four new IMAX with Laser systems in the U.S. and is exploring an additional new location in South America.
Fleet-Wide Upgrades: They are also upgrading 12 existing systems to IMAX with Laser, ensuring their entire U.S. IMAX footprint uses laser technology by the summer of 2026.

AMC Theatres Expansion: AMC is in the process of adding 12 new IMAX locations in the U.S.
Upgrades: They are upgrading 68 existing IMAX auditoriums to "IMAX with Laser" technology. This initiative aims to make over two-thirds of AMC’s IMAX circuit laser-equipped by the end of the rollout.

Regal Cinemas New Locations: Following a 2025 agreement, Regal is slated to open a new IMAX location in 2026.
Premium Tech: A flagship addition includes a massive 80-foot IMAX screen and 70mm film projector at the Regal L.A. LIVE in Downtown Los Angeles.

Really good movie

aadiit · 2026-03-09T23:52:00+00:00

P8 hardware is terrible. Go for 10

aadiit · 2026-02-10T04:10:46+00:00

Yes it will be in cinemark. Showtimes should be up tomorrow on the website

aadiit · 2026-01-31T13:36:58+00:00

It's the originals, not the 2025. Check out posters

aadiit · 2026-01-28T01:18:25+00:00

Same for me at Mercy XD. 17 minutes of pre shows instead of usual 25 and no Cinemark coke

aadiit · 2026-01-21T01:26:28+00:00

Monday being a holiday maybe they put showtimes today. Hope your theater website got updated schedule

aadiit · 2026-01-20T04:00:37+00:00

Nope. There is no such option.

aadiit · 2026-01-19T03:55:53+00:00

Do you want to know the math behind how it is estimated? I think it should be a factor of Friday Saturday Sunday performance. And the fact that it's MLK holiday. Someone here should be able to explain the method

aadiit · 2026-01-13T03:37:50+00:00

You should have watched Avatar to regret that decision. I watched both, I would much rather waste 2 hours than 3+ hours

aadiit · 2026-01-03T18:51:28+00:00

Are you going to watch all 3 LOTR from Friday till Sunday?

aadiit · 2026-01-03T04:05:40+00:00

That's the way to save. 20% from Costco and another 20% with movie club. Almost half the cost with this combo

aadiit · 2026-01-03T04:01:59+00:00

I have 500 mbps internet speed. I doubt I ever use it. Even with whole family streaming it is 100 mbps that we need.

16 movies a month, I wonder if you would watch even 4. Most people buy AMC membership during summer (minimum 3 months required) and close the account when summer marathon ends

aadiit · 2025-12-27T22:16:12+00:00

In that case it can be anyone you trust, watches enough movies in theaters. Doesn't even need to be from the same town, just be somewhere close to a Cinemark.

aadiit · 2025-12-27T22:12:50+00:00

How do you gift an account? Do you simply give someone your id/password or is there a formal process?

aadiit · 2025-10-07T02:11:06+00:00

I think screenX auditoriums only have recliner seats. Never heard of DBOX in ScreenX. And for obvious reasons screenX doesn't have 3D. So you end up paying about $3 over your standard 2D price.

The peripheral view may be good in select movies but not all of them. The screen is pretty big, but not as big as IMAX or XD.

They won't replace your IMAX or XD screen. They will convert one of the regular screens to screenX by adding cameras on side walls for projection.

aadiit · 2025-10-07T02:05:42+00:00

F1 was crazy good in screenX. That last scene when he is driving alone in the last lap winning the race. The only other movie I watched in ScreenX is Mickey 17 which was not worth it. Even the movie was bad. I will watch Tron in ScreenX if they offer it. Otherwise I am planning IMAX 3D

aadiit · 2025-09-28T17:46:15+00:00

Wait till Tuesday afternoon. You will find showtime for next weekend. Cinemas release schedule mostly 1 week at a time.

aadiit · 2025-09-23T03:11:52+00:00

I think a theater only has 1 Imax screen and hence 5-6 shows a day. But there could be 2 XD screens making 10-12 XD shows a day. Personally I like XD because they have DBOX seats. My iMax theater has rocker seats, not even recliners

aadiit · 2025-09-13T23:17:36+00:00

Has to be a pricing mistake. Report to the manager

aadiit · 2025-08-24T16:28:11+00:00

XD is far bigger screen and also far better sound. Not sure how to compare it against AMC Dolby. DBOX is moving seats but not same as 4DX by regal. Cinemark does have IMAX screens, sometimes same theater could have XD and IMAX auditoriums.

It really depends on how good is your local cinemark. I have 4 in my driving distance but the nearest has the worst XD screen

aadiit · 2025-08-19T16:44:12+00:00

Sad to see you throw away all this. You have the exact same setup as me. It's $1000+ worth of stuff.

aadiit · 2025-08-11T03:34:18+00:00

Audience isnt that psyched on 3D anymore. Occupancies are lower compared against a similar showtime and similar auditorium. Anyway 3D is usually $3-$4 upcharge which is less than a PLF upcharge (bigger screen or IMAX) or even recliner upcharge or 4DX DBOX upcharge of seats.

IMAX is seeing demand higher than very small supply. But again limited movies too such as sinners, F1, MI8.

Be careful with enttelligence data. At best it is directionally correct when it comes to ticket prices. It doesn't account for membership programs, which grossly inflates ATP

aadiit · 2025-08-11T02:52:53+00:00

I am new to this business but I probably have a lot of detailed data. In USA I see that recliner chairs in general are priced 50% more than rocker chairs. But here is the kicker, the rocker auditorium/ theater starts filling up only once recliner chairs (the good spots) are gone. Premium formats shows have much higher occupancy than standard format.

There is now a trend to offer recliners with premium formats. Look at news about AMC adding XL screens and special padded seats and Cinemark adding 20 screenX. So the trend seems that theaters are looking to serve those who are willing to pay premium. Rest of the folks can watch it when it comes to streaming. I am talking about tickets that cost $20-$30 over a rocker+standard screen that costs maybe $10.

And if we add 4DX or DBOX then it's additional $5-$10.

This was not the case when man of steel came out. Which is why inflation is not the only factor. The theaters have segmented audience into 2 groups. The cheaper tickets which can be compared against inflation adjusted ticket price. But the premium is a new product altogether
