Apple's Big Summer Movie Expanding to More IMAX Theaters Due to 'Overwhelming Popularity'

I think you left out the AMC Metreon Theater in San Francisco, CA...
You might want to double check your sources.
They also missed the Irvine Spectrum. Maybe an AI hallucinated the list? 🤣
Yes I learned this the hard way. We used to have this HUGE IMAX theater that looked like an Egg and a Space rocket at the same time but it was closed down many years ago. Fast forward moving to Berlin and I saw that one of the cinemas offers „IMAX“ here and the tickets are like more than double of a normal movie and the screen was tiny compared to what I expected. It was basically the same size as any other theater screen, just curved. Never again at that price
it's going to be loud and have lots of fast first person zoomy sequences, maybe even some explosions. I figure that's a recipe for IMAX success; "Super Speedway" did really well back... in the film IMAX days... oh dear, that came out in 1997.
edit: oh, for Apple TV+ timing, probably shortly after the recent big 3 month trial promotion is up

That might be, but this movie was insanely expensive at 300m, and June-July is filled with blockbusters. Jurassic World (regardless of the quality) never misses to dominate the box office. I'm well aware Apple doesn't need to make money from it's films, but I just can't see this one breaks even.
Brad Pitt is just Brad Pitt in every film I've seen him in, like Clooney.
We have quite a few ‘IMAX’ screens in the UK, yet for the film ‘Dunkirk’, I believe there were only 2 cinemas in the UKnthat could show it in its full aspect ratio.
The BFI IMAX in London is an incredibly tall screen compared to the other ‘IMAX’ screens.
I’ll wait until the end to assess my decision to watch it, this isn’t likely to be a thoughtful movie, but it doesn’t hurt to think about a thing before you decide if it’s ‘for you.’
Because watching a film is an important life event, and watching a film that, with hindsight, you wished you hadn’t, can have severe ongoing consequences?
It’s just a film.

You do release we can all read, right? Your reframing of their words into something they didn’t say, in order to argue against it, is transparent
Might see this one in IMAX instead of waiting for it to be available on TV+. Looks like a good film.
I got over it. Imax was those huge screens with that unique aspect ratio and dedicated analog cameras - now it's either DPs using large format cameras or a branding for cinemas with high end projectors (dual, if you're watching 3D) and good sound. In my city (Vienna, Austria) the last and only real IMAX closed in 2005 while the first "LieMAX" opened in 2009 - probably easier to stomach when there's a gap in between.
But the Laser Projection at the Sony Center's IMAX screen is still quite better than compareable screens - so is the sound experience. As someone who values both, I have no problem with paying more for this.
Looking forward to this, will be seeing it in “fake” IMAX with some friends, who are also motorsports fans.
I've been a die hard Formula 1 fan for over 20 years - and it looks bad. Like really bad! Why would you ever want to watch this, when you can watch stuff live and in depth content from the track and not some fictional story?
For reference Rush was a pretty good movie - loved that one.

What an everyman story. There's so many 60 year old guys that want to be F1 drivers. I see them all the time on the freeway.
My take is if I enjoyed it I don't care if others didn't consider it "real."
F! has pretty broad and growing appeal.
Maybe that's why it's an iMax release? Their's nor stappen Apple now...
While I like the technical innovation in F1, and find Formula E intriguing; I found F1 more interesting in the days of Lauda, Clark, Hall, Senna, Rindt... Today's isn't bad, just different; more like slot cars on a track where a driver on the pole has an advantage.
That said, I would not turn done tickets to a race; because it's still racing at the highest level.
Lol. I used ChatGPT and copied and paste it over here.
