The Omninmax format has been replaced with IMAX films and mainstream Hollywood movies have also been added recently.

The Charlotte Observer OMNIMAX theatre opened on November 3rd, 1991. Grand opening ad posted.
The Charlotte Observer reports today that this theater reopens Feb. 11 after an almost 2 year COVID related closure. A $1.2 million remodeling was carried out during that time that includes new seats, carpets, air filtration and a conversion from film to digital. It will be one of only 8 theaters in the country to use a laser lens technology for 180 degree domed theaters. It also includes a new name - The Accenture IMAX Domed Theatre - to reflect a 3 year partnership between Discovery Place Museum and Accenture.
The new digital projection will more easily allow a broader range of programming. The new Beatle’s concert film will open on Feb. 11 as well as a mix of documentaries and planetarium shows.
