One week only, starting 9/7 Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 08-14-2012 02:44 PM                     I'm curious to see how it's going to look.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-14-2012 09:58 PM                        I'm not.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

If so, it'd be worth the visit to an IMAX location.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 08-14-2012 10:10 PM                    I'd check it out if King of Prussia had it in 15/70. If it's digital only - Not so much.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 08-14-2012 11:00 PM                     Monte, I severely doubt Paramount is going to spend $30k per print on a 30+ year old movie that's only going to play seven days.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-14-2012 11:03 PM                        It's made from the Blu-ray master. I'll just get the Blu-ray. Paying $17 to see it on an oddly shaped screen that was not designed for Hollywood-style movies would be a waste of time and money.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

However Spielberg wants it done in IMAX 15/70, I'm sure Paramount could care less if it was done in 15/70 but last time I checked the Man in the Hat has more pull then just about anyone in Hollywood and he usually gets what he wants.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-15-2012 08:44 AM                     I'm not a fan of this idea but I am a fan of Spielberg -- so if Nolan can get Batman in 15/70 I think Steven should get it too -- even if it is only for 7 days.  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 08-15-2012 08:47 AM                     The 4K of Raiders didn't look so flash (to me anyway), so I'm curious to see exactly how it holds up in IMAX or even LieMAX.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 08-16-2012 11:24 AM                     Im excited to see Raiders on the big screen again as this is my first chance I have gotten since I was very little.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 08-16-2012 01:34 PM                        If there are going to be 15/70 prints, the folks answering IMAX's website inquirys haven't been told. Nevertheless, I'm excited to see it with a crowd on the big screen, and hope to take my 8 year old daughter. - - - - - Hi, Can you tell me if Raiders of the Lost Ark will be presented in true 70MM IMAX or if it will be liemax only? If there will be 70MM showings, can you please provide a list of theatres? Thank you, Geoff - - - - - Dear Geoff, Thank you for contacting IMAX Corporation. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark: The IMAX Experience is being released in digital format only, as this is a one-week release. Best regards, IMAX Corporation  |  IP: Logged
