Earlier in 2023 this site had two auditoriums refurbished, the existing IMAX screen plus Dolby Cinema was added to another.

@CF100 - The Ultimate Survivor documentary that you linked to was very interesting and a real trip down memory lane.

Thank you.

The IMAX screen will have been installed Summer 2019 onwards according to this article.

Screen 5: IMAX has an estimated screen width of ~48 feet or 14.63m based on the auditorium width of 52 feet. All seats (120) are recliners plus two disability spaces.

One of the very few IMAX screens in the UK that has recliner seats throughout. Odeon, Swiss Cottage being another.

There are 213 + 2 mobility seats in the Dolby Cinema (screen 1) plus four VIP boxes (unknown number of seats per box) per the ticket booking page on their official site.

Can someone please confirm the IMAX system at this movie theatre? Is it IMAX 2x2K Xenon with 6-channel audio? Capable of 2K HFR in 3D for Avatar: Way of Water?

Thanks.

Has anyone visited the Dolby Cinema at this megaplex, if so, thoughts? Any photos to share?

Thanks.

A general question regarding AMC, how common is it for one site to have both Dolby Cinema and IMAX auditoriums? I believe AMC Lincoln 13 and AMC Empire 25 have both?

In the UK there is currently just one Dolby Cinema (Odeon Luxe, Leicester Square London) with another opening soon in Leeds. Neither of which include an IMAX screen in the same multiplex. Which is what raised this question. Wondered if it bothered either Dolby or IMAX having the other competing if you will in the same location?

Do AMC offer unlimited refills for the Freestyle Coke machines? Also, is that a Fanta Frozen (aka Tango Blast in the UK) machine that I see in the latest photos uploaded by @ridethetrain ? Since the introduction of a Sugar Tax (March 2018) in the UK, all Tango Blast drinks are only available as Sugar-Free which taste awful. Guess you guys still get the full-fat versions which taste way nicer?

@CF100 – Thanks for sharing that very detailed account of your Dolby Cinema experience at Odeon LUXE, Leicester Square.

One year in the making and you weren’t blown away. Hmmm…

Interesting. Wonder how long those prices will be available for and whether the reductions had anything to do with the public backlash on social media etc?

It is better news for moviegoers and nice of Odeon to respond positively.

Presumably, as no photos have been posted online of a video wall entrance to the auditorium, there is not one at this cinema? Which is a shame seeing as this is a flagship venue and presently AFAIK the largest Dolby Cinema in the world?

@CF100

Thank you very much for the detailed account of your IMAX with Laser experience at this new cinema.

Shame that I was unable to make it. Hope to visit soon though…

According to this Screen Rant article, around 70% of Dunkirk was shot in the 1.43:1 IMAX format.

It is incredibly expensive to film an entire movie in the IMAX format. To date, the only two feature-length movies are Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End Game.

Has anyone visited this cinema recently, I presume all work on the extension (the addition of seven new screens) has now been completed?

Would be nice to see some photos of the new extension.

Most interesting. Lots of information to digest there. Thanks for taking the time to share all of that with the rest of us.

AMC Loews 13, Lincoln Square IMAX screen is 100 feet wide by 80 feet high.

TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX screen is 94 feet wide by 46 feet high.

Can anyone confirm if the AMC Metreon 16 IMAX screen is 100 feet wide by 80 feet high or 97 feet wide by 76 feet high?

I believe the above are the three largest IMAX screens in North America unless anyone knows otherwise?
