Bigger and better?

Article Abstract:

There has been a global surge in interest in large format theatres. Market dominator Imax Systems Corp, with 149 sites in 22 countries, has announced agreements with motion picture exhibitors to develop a further 13 3D theatres at leisure locations. Other companies, including Iwerks Entertainment Inc and Showscan Entertainment Inc, are entering the market. One of the reasons for exhibitors' interest in this format is that a large format theatre generates up to ten times the audience of a mainstream cinema screen.
