Earth Bigger on IMAX

December 17, 2008

The Day the Earth Stood Still missed expectations during its opening weekend, at least in regular theaters. On IMAX it was fantastic, earning an estimated $3.7 million on just 123 screens to give it a per IMAX average of $30,000. That's an average that is 3.5 times higher than its overall per theater average.

Next up for IMAX is Under the Sea 3D, which opens in February while Watchmen debuts in March and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in July.
