Author Topic: "Harry Potter" Industry Booking Records Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 07-20-2011 06:38 PM                     From DeadlineHollywood: quote: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 mega-release into 4,375 theaters and over 11,000 screens in North America alone on Friday. This will make it the widest domestic Harry Potter release of all time. The film will be shown in 3,000 3D locations, which constitutes a motion picture industry record, and on 4,250 3D screens. It will play at 274 IMAX venues, another industry record, as well as 120 Premium Large Format cinemas, also an industry record, and 270 drive-ins, another industry record. Well, no wonder it's breaking box-office records. I have a difficult time believing the drive-in figure is a record, by the way.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 07-21-2011 08:53 AM                     It's only playing at more "IMAX" venues because chains are putting LieMax screens in every multiplex. I'd like to see the number of current venues compared to 15-20 years ago  |  IP: Logged Mark J.
