There are only 50 IMAX theatres in the world that can screen 1.43:1 IMAX format, but only 30 of those cinemas, can display true IMAX 15/70mm film print. I visited IMAX Melbourne, in Australia, the second largest theatre in the world, to discover the process of how Oppenheimer, the longest IMAX movie ever is played.

IMAX Melbourne is the only IMAX screen in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 27,000 presale tickets for Oppenheimer screenings with people coming all over the world to see the film. I had the incredible opportunity of seeing what the process looks like, in the projection booth and the experience moviegoers get to be apart of, when visiting this amazing theatre!
