IMAX Looks For Growth From Digital Projectors And Global Programming
The large screen theater company set a high bar for itself this morning when it reported a 55.7% jump in the gross box office for its films in Q4. But CEO Rich Gelfond will try to beat that in 2013 by taking more control over the films IMAX theaters show. One initiative, unveiled this morning, will deploy digital projectors in about 30 of the company’s most popular theaters which currently use conventional film — including Regal’s IMAX theaters in Irvine, Cal.; Ontario, Cal.; and Orlando, Fla. The change is needed because film stock is “disappearing faster than we had anticipated” and the cost of processing it is rising. “With a digital projector we can show 25 films a year because each hard drive costs $150,” he tells me. “You can swap it in or out, no big deal. In a film theater each print costs $30,000. They’re big, bulky, and expensive.” But the digital projectors aren’t powerful enough to light some of the largest screens including theaters in New York’s Lincoln Square, Los Angeles’ Howard Hughes Center, and the Universal CityWalk. That’s one reason why the digital projectors are merely an “interim solution” until late 2014 when IMAX will roll out its more powerful laser projectors. Read More »
IMAX Beats Q4 Earnings Forecasts With Help From ‘Skyfall’ And ‘Hobbit’
Shares are up more than 3.6% in pre-market trading after the provider of large-screen theater services released a surprisingly strong financial report for the last three months of 2012. IMAX says it generated net income of $12.9M, +105.9% vs the end of 2011, on revenues of $77.8M, +16.6%. The top-line number was comfortably ahead of the $74M analysts expected. And adjusted earnings at 23 cents a share handily beat the consensus forecast for 16 cents. Although the company didn’t break out results for individual films in the quarter, some analysts expected IMAX might surprise them after seeing the strong box office results for Sony and MGM’s James Bond film Skyfall, and Warner Bros’ The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Gross box office revenues for IMAX titles came in at a record $152M, +55.7%, with an average box office per screen of $264,400, up from $221,600.

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Limited 3D Release Set For March 28
Ross Lincoln is a Deadline contributor.
The IMAX 3D version, featuring a full digital remastering, will coincide with the film’s wide release beginning
internationally on March 28, 2013, with the North American release following the next day. The IMAX 3D version will run for a single week in select theaters.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation has a wild journey to theaters. Originally scheduled for a June 29, 2012 release, Paramount baffled industry observers in May when, after a costly ad campaign that included a Super Bowl trailer, it was learned that the film was being rescheduled. The official justification for the rescheduling was a 3D makeover intended to boost international ticket sales. However, the production has been dogged by persistent rumors that the real reason for the switch is costly reshoots to change the plot so that Duke, played by Channing Tatum, is not killed early in the film. Tatum of course enjoyed a huge 2012, with The Vow, 21 Jump Street and Magic Mike all strong hits. Read More »
