This location also has the ceiling speakers installed for the next gen sound system, they were put in for the film festival. From my understanding, this location will have IMAX laser for The Hobbit 3 along with Tinsletown Cinemark in Rochester.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 10-10-2014 12:49 PM                     I have not been in recently but my tech friends have confirmed 15/70 is back in place and ready to go. It's rumored the Varsity will be showing Interstellar in 5/70 !  |  IP: Logged Allan Barnes Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: GRAND BEND, ONTARIO, CANADA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 10-11-2014 12:23 AM                        Trade screening October 15 for INNERSTELLAR at Scotiabank Theatre..

Johnson IMAX theater (at Smithsonian's Natural History Museum) and Udvar Hazy IMAX screen are closing and being converted over to the new laser system, January to March of next year - from what I can interpret from Smithsonian's message to me, the Lockheed Martin IMAX Theater (the other Mall IMAX screen) will be upgraded at a future TBD date.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-16-2015 09:20 AM                     question: did the new laser system debut with the release of 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' here at the Scotiabank theater?  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.

I haven't heard back from IMAX themselves - yet (for 100% accuracy), but for those of us, in the DC, L.A. and Toronto area we'll get to hear the new sound system.  |  IP: Logged Terry Lynn-Stevens Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1081 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Dec 2012 posted 04-17-2015 11:40 PM                     Not sure about Hobbit 3, but the movies I have seen at the Scotiabank were 6-trach IMAX. The laser IMAX DMR is different than the Xenon DMR, the sound also is different.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-30-2015 09:14 AM                     out of curiosity Terry - what's the screen's height size?  |  IP: Logged
