Author Topic: SW:EP2 in Imax ?? David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-21-2002 11:20 AM                        Animation is a special case (which you are probably right about though). I'm talking about live-action.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Drive up to the Pacific Science Center or (if you can stand the 7.5 hour drive) come down to Sacramento to see it and I'll even give you a tour of the booth.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-21-2002 08:49 PM                        The Super-35 mm film negative from "Apollo 13" is much sharper than movies shot with the Sony HDCAM format, so the DMR process has more image data to work with. ------------------ John P.

Anyone know if its headed to this side of the pond?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-22-2002 05:24 AM                     Apollo 13 was released to 20 Imax theatres in the U.S. and two in Canada. No word yet on any worldwide releases.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-23-2002 10:34 AM                        Leonard Maltin and his TV reviewer-partner both gave the Imax version of Apollo 13 very favorable comments. Maltin said the image quality is "fabulous" and the 19 minutes that were trimmed from the running time doesn't hurt the story.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-10-2002 04:45 PM                        Ep2 opens in IMAX on Nov. 1st: EP2-IMAX  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-07-2003 12:55 PM                     Here is the final totals for the IMAX release of "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones" The IMAX Experience. It made $8,485,488.00  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 05-07-2003 09:51 PM                    Sounds like it lost money or barely broke even.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-08-2003 06:29 AM                     I think that is a pretty good total, considering that it was not a current film and that it played only a limited number of theatres. The real test of things will be when THE MATRIX film open in 35 and IMAX simultaneously in November. TREASURE PLANET opened in both formats, but that film was so bad it wouldn't have done business in any format.  |  IP: Logged
