Avatar and Alice in Wonderland make IMAX and 3D popular words in movies. Because of Avatar, the ticket window of IMAX Cinema, the capital of peace movies in Shanghai, has been lined up for more than two months. Although the box office performance of Alice in Wonderland is mediocre, the IMAX 3D version is still hard to find. Because IMAX 3D movies can provide a completely different viewing experience from traditional 2D screens, many viewers who rarely set foot in cinemas have begun to pay for tickets. IMAX 3D technology is favored by more and more production companies and directors because of its obvious anti-piracy function. Because of many technical specifications, IMAX cinemas can't become the mainstream in a short time, but mainland audiences can see more and more movies on IMAX screens-in 2065438+00, we will see IMAX versions of iron man 2 and Tangshan Earthquake, and IMAX 3D version of Toy Story 3. As Shawande, senior vice president of IMAX, said, "Chinese mainland is one of the fastest growing markets in IMAX." IMAX is hard to get a ticket from "decoration".

In Hong Kong, a new cinema located in the downtown business district fully recovered its cost after only one month of showing the IMAX version of Avatar. In Shanghai, the IMAX version of "Avatar" of Peace Cinema kept the audience in line for more than two months, and the box office receipts of this theater in 20 10/0 and February have been among the highest in the country.

In fact, the IMAX cinema in Peace Film Capital was built as early as the end of 2003, but for many years, the first commercial IMAX screen in China was more of a "decoration". Because before the digitization of IMAX movies in September 2008, the cost of a single IMAX movie copy was $30,000, and most film companies and cinemas were unwilling to be so "extravagant".

"Digitalization reduces the cost of IMAX movies and magnifies the advantages of IMAX. In the North American market, less than 2% of IMAX screens can create more than 65,438+00% of box office share. " This is what the Morning Post reporter learned from IMAX Shanghai office. Eliminating disadvantages and highlighting advantages, IMAX and 3D technologies are developing at an unpredictable speed in the market. It is understood that if Avatar is not popular enough to queue up for tickets every day, mainland audiences will welcome a new IMAX film every month in 20 10.

20 10 On March 26th, Alice in Wonderland directed by tim burton replaced Avatar and became the mainstay of most IMAX cinemas in Chinese mainland. In the first three days of the weekend, the box office of Alice in China was 65 million yuan, which was obviously different from that of Avatar, which broke 100 million yuan in three days. However, tickets for IMAX theaters are still hard to find. According to the data of Shanghai Lianhe Cinema, which has 440 screens, the six IMAX screens of Lianhe Cinema generated a box office of 2.435 million yuan, accounting for 25.34% of the total box office of Lianhe Cinema, with the highest gold content.

It is reported that in addition to Avatar and Alice in Wonderland, mainland audiences will have the opportunity to see Ji Long, iron man 2 and Toy Story 3 on IMAX screens in the first half of this year.

China has become the "important town" for IMAX development.

More and more movies are made in IMAX version, and there are also movies shot directly with IMAX cameras, such as The Dark Knight and Transformers: The Return. Hollywood studios are no longer worried that the release of IMAX movies will conflict with other movies. Instead, they have begun to encourage cinemas to open more IMAX cinemas. In Chinese mainland, although the first IMAX commercial projection screen of Peace Film Capital was established at the end of 2003, so far, only 65,438+02 IMAX screens have been used for commercial projection. The reason for the slow growth is that most mainland cinemas choose to rent the first floor of shopping malls to build multi-hall cinemas. For IMAX cinemas, the height of the screen must be considered when selecting the site. According to the Shanghai office, compared with modern multi-hall cinemas, it is more feasible to transform some early single-hall cinemas and even the activity rooms in the community into IMAX cinemas. Before Avatar was released, Beijing Huaxing Giant Screen Cinema completed the transformation of IMAX Cinema. In the interview, the reporter of Morning Post was told that a single-hall cinema with superior geographical location and large enough space like Tianshan Cinema can consider the transformation of IMAX cinema as long as it wants to find business opportunities again.

Although the number of IMAX screens in mainland China is limited, the market has already seen its value potential. Therefore, before the release of Avatar, a number of IMAX cinemas suddenly increased in the mainland. Nowadays, not only a number of non-commercial IMAX screens are applying to join the team of showing commercial films, but also many future IMAX cinemas are actively brewing.

If the IMAX version of Avatar can be described as "unexpected", it is almost foreseeable that the IMAX version of Tangshan Earthquake is a hit at the box office in Xiaogang Feng. In this interview with the Morning Post reporter, I repeatedly emphasized the fact that the Tangshan earthquake was not only the first IMAX film in China, but also the first IMAX film made in the world without North America. Moreover, the preferential policies obtained by the Tangshan earthquake are not available in other IMAX movies. It is understood that the cost of converting the film into IMAX is borne by IMAX. In 2065, there were only 12 commercial IMAX screens in Chinese mainland, with 438+00. It is almost impossible to recover the conversion cost of10.5 million to 2 million dollars, but IMAX company is still willing to try. The reason is that they hope to make two or three IMAX movies in Chinese mainland every year in the future, and new movies will be released every month in IMAX theaters in the mainland. Because some slots in the mainland of China are protected, at these times, it may not be possible to import large films. At this time, IMAX movies made in Chinese mainland can fill the gaps in the movie list.
