The highly anticipated Dune: Part Three is set to return to the big silver screen on December 18th. And once again, only a select number of theaters around Los Angeles are expected to showcase the film in the breathtaking IMAX 70mm format.
While some showings are already sold out, there are still seats to be had in L.A. County cinemas for the film premiere of the year.
Only 15 theatres in the United States are hosting Dune: Part Three on IMAX 70mm film. California is home to six of cinemas — and only two of them are in L.A. County.
🎬Why IMAX 70mm Is a Must-See Experience
Any cinephile will tell you that seeing an incredible film like Dune: Part Three in IMAX is essential.
IMAX theaters allow sequence shots with IMAX film cameras to expand vertically and fill the entire screen. These theatres featuring 15 perf / 70mm film, allow scenes to expand up to a 1.43:1 aspect ratio — engulfing audiences in a film and ensuring a movie experience like never before.
