There are quite a few films available in 8/70. I would guess that if you look closely around that theatre, you will not see the word IMAX anywhere...this is an alternate big screen system. Iwerks has an installation at a Science Museum near here with 8/70 3-D. I've seen 2 films there, and the image was sharp and solid...and just slightly larger than the local commercial IMAX theatre.

8/70 looks like a good way to do a large screen presentation on a budget. I really like Steve Guttag's suggestion of one projector for such a facility.
