NY Times: AMC Installs 100 Imax 3D Screens
Dec. 7, 2007 – Movie theater circuit AMC Entertainment will install 100 Imax big screen theaters, doubling the number of large-format 3-D screens in the U.S, reports the New York Times. AMC, which operates 5,128 screens in 30 states and five foreign territories, will retrofit 33

auditoriums in its top-grossing locations to install the 100 Imax screens. “This gives Imax a national footprint they never had before, including in the suburbs, and is great for studios looking to distribute titles in 3-D,” Dan Fellman, president of theatrical distribution at Warner Bros. tells the newspaper.
