Oklahoma City’s first IMAX screen lights up Friday, grand opening planned for “Avatar”
Oklahoma City’s first IMAX theater will become operational Friday, showing the high-tech holiday adaptation “Disney’s A Christmas Carol,” reports The Oklahoman Business Writer Jennifer Palmer.
One of the 24 auditoriums in the AMC theater at Quail Springs Mall has been converted to an IMAX theater, complete with a larger, curved screen, the latest sound system and digital projector. To convert the auditorium, several rows of the front seats also were removed, reducing capacity from about 525 to 450.
Tickets will cost $4 for IMAX films than for regular movies, Jennifer reports. Movies shown in the IMAX theater also will be featured in a regular auditorium.
The Quail Springs theater will be the only AMC IMAX in the Oklahoma City market, an IMAX spokesman told Jennifer. Tulsa has boasted an IMAX theater for a few years, but the new auditorium will be Oklahoma City’s first IMAX outlet.
The grand opening for the Quail Springs IMAX auditorium will be Dec. 18, to coincide with the debut of James Cameron’s long-awaited sci-fi adventure “Avatar.”
