  Most of IMAX problems were created before they had a digital delivery system in place and before they had enough theaters to cover their expenses.

  Before digital the huge reels of film were expensive to produce, fragile, and hard to move from location to location. Now with digital all of that is vastly simplified.

  For IMAX to grow and flourish, they must offer an attractive proposition to three different groups: The Hollywood studios, the theater operators, and the public ticket buyers.

  They seem to be covering all three bases now. Digital makes it much easier and less costly for both the studios and the theater owners. The public just loves IMAX movies. I think they've just gotten their act together and it is starting to roll. They do have some financial hangover to work through but the future looks very bright for IMAX. They really have no competition in terms of the big screen.

  IMAX is the future. With movie ticket prices like $10 now + $10 for popcorn and soda, it is like $20 per person to see the movies. Now I wouldn't know myself since I've had a home projector since 2001 that produces images almost as big as some movie theaters on my wall. But when I have gone to the movies, I know my wallet was crying.

  IMAX should try to take over market share and build more theaters. I'd pay $15 to see a movie in IMAX over $10 to see a movie on the traditional movie screens.

  IMAX is the diamond in the dirt that ain't been found, the underground king that ain't been crowned.

  I think that IMAX is an important trend to recognize when it comes to movie theaters. All it takes is some observation of how packed those theaters are, and what sort of films they are attracting to realize this could become a very big deal.

  What if growth of 5.9 per cent of decline would mean moving to a higher average on a 52- week low

  the only reason that comes to mind is the number of screens changing over a 40 hours period would remain the era that has surpassed many in the recent past........

  projection thru reproduction of superimposition still continues to daunt the mind of the hobbists as well

  salil.

  Sony Pictures Releasing to Distribute Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT to Digital IMAX(R)

  This will be a huge money maker, and supporting the analysis, that this company is growing and the new digital technology is a money maker.
