News Summary:

IMAX recently declined Disney's request to use its premium screens for "Avengers" films, prompting Disney to develop its own premium screen badge, a development that occurred during North America's record $4.76 billion summer box office between May 1 and September 7. Earlier on September 10, a special feature highlighted how IMAX offers filmmakers an ultimate cinematic canvas, requiring a balance of spectacle with storytelling, and how the company works with filmmakers to redefine the theatrical experience. On September 9, IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond announced that the company's big screens surpassed $600 million in global box office receipts for the third quarter so far, noting that this figure, achieved early in September, well exceeds their previous best quarter of "mid-three hundreds" in Q3 2023. Gelfond also downplayed industry mergers and acquisitions, emphasizing that IMAX's primary relationships are with filmmakers. This follows statements made by IMAX CFO Natasha Fernandes on September 9 at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, who explained that the successful run of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" on its premium format screens is helping IMAX secure additional deals with theater chains, attributing this to "The Odyssey halo effect" and Nolan's collaboration with the company.

IMAX responds to iPhone Duo’s cinema-shaped display with a reality check

IMAX has noticed that iPhone Duo’s unusually tall display is close to the shape of its full-height theater format, but the company is not ready to call a foldable phone a cinema. Responding to a question on X about bringing more 1.43:1 content to the device, the official IMAX account wrote, “love this for them… still not watching movies on a phone.” The reply is playful, and the joke avoids promising any new distribution arrangement.
