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.”

NORMAN – Many charitable organizations face difficulties in times of economic hardship, and the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History is helping to boost holiday donations to a local charity with a collection drive.
According to a news release, the museum will be collecting donations of gifts and non-perishable food items for Food and Shelter for Friends Nov. 27-Dec. 3.
For 10 years, the museum has collected donations for the Norman-based Food and Shelter for Friends during the annual Holiday Happening, a community event at the museum scheduled this year from 6 to 9 p.m. Dec. 3. In recent years, the museum has extended the donation period to allow museum visitors two weeks to contribute to the annual collection, resulting in a marked increase in donations.
The gifts will be distributed at Food and Shelter for Friends’ annual holiday party for the families and individuals who are under their care. Donations can be brought to the museum any time during regular museum hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Every item donated at the museum will earn the donor an entry into a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to Excavations, the museum store. The drawing will take place at 8 p.m. on Dec. 3, during Holiday Happening. Entrants must be present to win.
Food and Shelter for Friends is a nonprofit organization that maintains eight shelters for homeless individuals and families in Norman. The organization also provides free community lunches, assistance with rent and utility payments, children’s programs and other services to help prevent homelessness and help the needy in Norman to achieve independence.
The Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is located on the University of Oklahoma Norman campus. For more information, call 325-4712 or go to www.snomnh.ou.edu.
