IMAX and AMC Theatres Pioneer New Tech For Cinemas

**Lights, Camera, Expansion! IMAX & AMC Supercharge the Cinema Experience**

Big news from **CinemaCon** this week: **IMAX and AMC Theatres** are taking their long-running partnership to the next level with a massive tech upgrade.

As a movie lover, I always seek out **IMAX screenings**—nothing beats that jaw-dropping visuals and earth-shaking sound. But my biggest gripe? Most theaters only have *one* IMAX screen. That’s about to change.

The deal? **IMAX with Laser** is coming to **180+ AMC locations** across the U.S., making AMC the global leader in laser-powered IMAX theaters. This includes **12 brand-new IMAX venues** and **68 upgrades** to laser systems—the biggest U.S. rollout since 2018.

Why this rocks for moviegoers
– **Sharper images, deeper contrast, brighter colors** (IMAX Laser is a *huge* leap over traditional digital)
– **More options**—fewer “sold out” frustrations for premium screenings
– **Future-proofing theaters** as more filmmakers (like Nolan, Villeneuve, and McQuarrie) shoot in IMAX

**AMC CEO Adam Aron** put it perfectly:
This expansion reflects our shared success and IMAX’s unbeatable content lineup.”*

**IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond** added:
It’s proof that our tech and blockbuster partnerships deliver unforgettable experiences.”*

**The Big Picture:**
With **Dune 2**, **Oppenheimer**, and **Furiosa** proving audiences crave immersive cinema, this upgrade couldn’t come at a better time. The better the theatrical experience, the more people will show up—and that’s a win for Hollywood *and* fans. People also search
