I totally agree with CWalczak. The new CineMagic theatre in St. Michael, MN has a regular IMAX screen (45x70) and recently had a very successful run of “The Dark Knight” for three months. The availability of 35mm movies converted to the IMAX 15x70 format greatly increases the revenue of the IMAX operaton, rather than being limited to the documentary films, etc… While the St. Michael IMAX screen has hosted such documentaries as “NASCAR 3D” and “Space Station 3D” – the real bread and butter comes from such Hollywood hits as “300”, “Spiderman 3” and “Dark Knight”. Sad to see though as I have been to the Duluth Omnimax a few times. Hoe this isn’t true!
