How does one find out where the special prints are?

It appears the Regal in Dublin went to digital sometime in the spring, as they played Thor IMAX 3D, a digital-only IMAX title.
I never followed up after your post, but I called Regal Dublin just now and they indeed confirmed they are digital. She was quick to point out that they were superior to the "mini-max" in Stockton as they maintained their original 6 story tall screen.

COSI's New Digital System is worth a visit. Amazing Image using two stacked Christie 2230's. You can find out more Information by visiting their website or by searching on youtube.

COSI was done by Claco from Salt Lake City. It's using circular polarizers, but I'm not sure yet if that's REALD or DepthQ.

I always found that the previous 70mm Iwerks system at COSI was FAR too dim in that room, especially with 3-D. I will get down there in the next couple of weeks and check out the new system. The primary operator there has been there a long time, moving over from the now-closed Marcus Imax to COSI. I hope it works well for them.

You know what they say... if you have to tell someone you're superior, you'd not.

According to the list listed here.
http://www.lfexaminer.com/DarkKnightRisesOn1570.htm

KoP will be showing dark Knight Rises in real 15/70 IMAX. Anyone able to confirm this? I'd rather not drive out to A.C. To get real IMAX.

I forgot I had already said what I was going to post on page 1, the Harrisburg theater is my first choice over KoP's screen - the screen at KoP is too forward and close to the audience, it's a tad overwhelming and not in the good sense.

For anyone who cares. KoP is showiNg Dark knight Rises in 70 mm 15/70 according to the person I spoke tO today in the theater.

Harrisburg is probably great but to far for me to go to see a movie.

I called KOP last night and was told the same thing. Bought my tickets to the Saturday (21st) 7 PM show last night. The guy I spoke to confirmed that they still have both 70mm and digital projectors but couldn't remember the last 70mm movie they showed there.

My local stand alone IMAX theater, the Esquire IMAX in Sacramento just put this on their website. I guess we know what this means [Frown]
