Replacing the World's Largest IMAX Screen

Posted by samzenpus on from the we're-gonna-need-a-bigger-popcorn dept.

lukehopewell1 writes "IMAX Sydney has replaced its screen — the largest in the world — at a cost of $250,000. Weighing over 800 kilograms, painting the screen took over 12 days and 350 kilograms of paint. Lifting the massive screen and installing it took a year of planning and 31 riggers. A neat photo gallery is included so you can get an idea of just how big a job this was."

  1. Soon with crappier image quality! by jaskelling · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Will it soon have one of IMAX's crappiest digital projectors to fill the world's largest IMAX screen? Or will it still be allowed to have the clarity that is IMAX 70mm?
