For four weeks,
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be the only film shown on Imax's large format screens. Beginning December 18th, the film will open on close to 800 screens (375 to 400 screens domestically and more than 400 abroad). "In June, Imax broke its own opening-weekend record when
Jurassic World leapfrogged over
Iron Man 3's $28.8 million to grab $44.2 million worldwide — $21 million from 363 domestic screens and $23.2 million from 443 screens abroad." Imax had a similar deal for the three
Hobbit movies, but, has not had another exclusive run until now.
