The World's Most Innovative Movie-Going Experience
About us
IMAX Corporation is an entertainment technology company, specializing in motion-picture technologies and large-format motion-picture presentations. Leading the way in immersive theatre experiences since 1968, a culture of innovation is at the very core of IMAX. From the introduction of stadium seating, to developing the highest-resolution camera in the world, to our laser projection technology and our partnerships with the world’s best filmmakers, there is no one like IMAX. We have more than 1,700 IMAX theatres in more than 80 countries and territories around the globe. We can be found in destination entertainment centers and multiplexes as well as some of the most prestigious educational institutions worldwide. To exceed the needs of our filmmaking partners, our exhibitors and our fans, IMAX is determined to continue pushing movie technology forward. IMAX Corporation is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IMAX). Partnering with some of Hollywood’s top filmmakers is a major part of IMAX’s mission. Our various technologies and services extend beyond our cameras and our proprietary DMR process and can be scaled to suit a variety of needs. Leading directors are increasingly asking IMAX to join the moviemaking process from the very start. For a growing number of Hollywood movies, IMAX is part of the film’s DNA. That means, oftentimes, an IMAX movie is conceived as an IMAX movie – with the filmmaker working with IMAX to decide which parts should be shot with an IMAX camera, what kinds of techniques make the most of the IMAX screen, sound and theatre, and how the drama should unfold to take advantage of IMAX’s larger format, richer color, sheer scale and impact.

🎮 IMAX is partnering with Wanda in China to deliver its first-ever live esports event — the 2024 League of Legends World Championship! IMAX will broadcast the tournament exclusively in up to 200 Wanda locations across China over the next three weeks, including this weekend’s quarterfinals (Oct. 17-20), the semifinals (Oct. 26-27), and finals (Nov. 2). The release of the League of Legends World Championship in IMAX was driven by the IMAX Streaming and Consumer Technology division, as the group continues to test new technologies to expand the company’s connected theaters with new live experiences, including its sellout presentation of the NBA Finals in Hong Kong and Taiwan earlier this year. We can’t wait for fans to experience the excitement live in IMAX! Check out this article from VentureBeat to learn more:

As we continue to open the aperture of what makes up The IMAX Experience, alternative content occupies an important space in driving unique and exciting experiences across our network. Most recently, we showcased the dazzling opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics in select IMAX locations domestically, an effort that wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our partners at Barco, LTN and Strong/MDI Screen Systems.
