IMAX: Avatar is Special on IMAX
August 31, 2010
The Special Edition release of Avatar pulled in $1.5 million domestically and $560,000 internationally for $2.06 million worldwide. In other IMAX news, it was reported that John Woo will be shooting his next movie, Flying Tigers, and it will be converted to the IMAX format. First Aftershocks and now this film. The trend I predicted at the beginning of the month is quickly coming true. Flying Tigers begins shooting next spring.
In more immediate news, this month sees the release of both Resident Evil: After Life and Legend of the Guardians in IMAX 3D. Meanwhile the penultimate installment of the Harry Potter franchise, The Deathly Hallows: Part I, should prove lucrative in IMAX later this fall.
