The highly anticipated new venue, set to open later this year, will be IMAX’s most advanced theatre experience yet. IMAX Sydney is set to feature a breathtaking 693-square-metre screen, designed from scratch to provide an immersive cinematic experience that boasts crystal-clear, life-like images and precision audio. The theatre will also introduce an innovative 4K laser projection system featuring a new optical engine, custom-designed lenses, and proprietary technology that delivers even brighter images, increased resolution, deeper contrast, and the widest range of colours exclusive to IMAX screens.

We’re thrilled to partner with EVT to bring audiences a world-class movie-going experience at the new IMAX Sydney theatre in The Ribbon,” said Giovanni Dolci, Chief Sales Officer at IMAX. “We’re confident that this iconic venue will become a cultural landmark and will instantly join the ranks of our most celebrated and successful flagship cinemas around the world, from New York, Cannes, and Tokyo to Los Angeles, Seoul, and London.”

In addition, IMAX Sydney will be the first location in Australia to feature EVT’s signature ‘Your Cinema, Your Way’ seating, which gives movie-goers the choice to upgrade their experience with multiple seating options, from full recliners to private pods. The location will also come equipped with a food marketplace stocked with all sorts of tasty treats and refreshing beverages. So, while you’re busy chomping away on your snacks, just be sure not to inadvertently annoy your fellow spectators with the ear-splitting sound of your crunching chips or slurping soda.

EVT’s Director of Entertainment Australia, Luke Mackey, explained, “At EVT, our vision is to be leaders in creating experiences and properties that escape the ordinary. Our research tells us that audiences want choice. We’ve created multiple ways to experience IMAX, featuring Australian first premium seating options; full recliners, couples lounges and private pods. The location also leverages experts from across EVT to deliver elevated food and beverage and an innovative venue for conferences and events. We believe that IMAX Sydney located in the heart of Sydney will be the best IMAX in Australia, attracting locals and tourists alike.”

So hold onto your popcorn because EVT is gearing up to offer an unparalleled movie-going experience destined to attract local and international audiences. With an immersive screen, laser projection system that could rival the Death Star’s, and seating options fit for royalty, this cinema is set to become more than just a theatre but a cultural phenomenon.
