Fun facts about IMAX CORP

Quirks, history, and lore behind IMAX — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    A mid-cap entertainment-technology company listed on the NYSE, headquartered in Canada but operating in dozens of countries worldwide.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Annual revenue of roughly $300 million, with most of it tied directly to box-office performance — meaning a bad summer at the movies is a very bad summer for this company.
  • 3
    The History
    Born out of Expo 67 in Montreal, the company spent decades perfecting large-format film projection before Hollywood studios came begging to put their blockbusters in its theaters.
  • 4
    The Secret
    It doesn't own most of the theaters that carry its name — it licenses its brand and technology to exhibitors and takes a cut of every ticket sold, making it more of a tech licensor than a theater chain.
  • 5
    The Lore
    Christopher Nolan is basically its unofficial brand ambassador — he has insisted on shooting and releasing films in this format, calling it the ultimate cinematic experience, which is exactly what the marketing department would say.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    You've paid extra for those giant curved screens and bone-rattling sound while watching everything from Interstellar to Oppenheimer — the logo is enormous, and so is the price of your popcorn.
