If IMAX usually decides which movies are shown on its screens and which aren't, why did it agree to have six movies shown in IMAX for six consecutive weeks? And how will they distribute them?
If you recall, IMAX usually decides which films are shown in its theaters and which aren't. Last year, Jurassic World Rebirth lost its IMAX screens to F1 and Superman, and this year Spider-Man: Breaking New Day lost them to Nolan's The Odyssey and David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street. That's why I was asking how it's possible that IMAX agreed to have five films shown in IMAX in five consecutive weeks, apart from Masters of the Universe, which is a special case, and Nolan's The Odyssey, which is precisely the film that will monopolize all the IMAX screens once and for all. Frankly, I find it surprising and somewhat counterproductive. You can't share IMAX with several blockbusters because, if I'm not mistaken, no film will lose all its IMAX screens when the next one is released, as happened with Superman, which lost its IMAX screens to Fantastic Four: The First Steps. I still remember the CEO's slogan, which said that IMAX was for art-house cinema, so it's even stranger that they agreed to this. Toy Story 5 and Minions 3 were scheduled to be shown in IMAX at the same time as Supergirl and Disclosure Day, even though they weren't made for IMAX. If you know how you're going to organize the schedules, I'd love for you to explain it to me, please.
