It wasn't until this storm that I knew that the IMAX here and one in Wichita of the same size are the two largest IMAX screens in the world. I had no idea.
actually... not the world, the US, probably. Warren IMAX screens are around 60 feet tall. The one in Sydney is over 90 feet tall.
I only wrote what's in the Wikipedia entry. Of course, it could be wrong.
"Since the opening of the Warren World Class IMAX in Wichita on December 17, 2010, it has been the top grossing IMAX in North America. The Moore Warren IMAX opened February 24, 2012. Both theaters have 601 seats, a dedicated lobby, 101 ft IMAX 3D screen, a family restroom, and an elevator. The Warren World Class IMAX current size and design has both theaters made to be the largest digital IMAX screens in the world.[13][14]"
Digital IMAX is different than original, traditional, 70mm IMAX theatres. They run smaller due to resolution limitations with the digital projectors.
Good news: the Warren is re-opening tomorrow.
can anyone confirm it is actually up and running? I am thinking about going tonight. also, are all the exits still closed into moore so what would be best way to get in? Thanks
I went to see Star Trek in the IMAX on Wednesday night. The theater is completely operational and most definitely open.
And, the exits are open all around the theater. Even the 4th street exit is open, which surprised me. I will say though, that it's pretty eery around the Warren right now. You have the car "graveyard" in the front of the parking lot and the destroyed hospital and bowling alley. It was really, really awesome to go to a movie on Wednesday night. Just sitting down in the seat was a feeling of victory and comfort after the events of the last week and a half. But, coming out of the theater at night you are struck by the destruction so nearby and the combination of that and the sound of the generators and the spotlights in the area definitely make it a very surreal feeling.
I've been wanting to see Star Trek as well so I guess I'll have to make the trip this weekend.
Kind of interesting: What is listed as "Regal Warren Oklahoma City" but I'm assuming is actually Moore was in the top 10 nationwide for the latest Harry Potter franchise movie this past weekend:
