New York Ranks Among Best States for IMAX Movie Fans

If you enjoy seeing movies on a huge screen, New York is one of the best places in the country to live. A new study found that New York has more IMAX theaters than almost every other state.

New York Has 24 IMAX Theaters

New York has 24 IMAX theater locations. That puts the state in fourth place in the United States. Only California, Texas, and Florida have more IMAX theaters. California leads the country with 58. Texas has 42, while Florida has 39.

Why IMAX Is Different

IMAX theaters have very large screens and powerful sound systems. They make viewers feel like they are part of the movie. Theaters across New York give movie fans several places to enjoy this bigger experience. However, some residents may still need to travel because the theaters are not spread evenly across the state.

Christopher Nolan’s New Movie Is Coming

The study was released as excitement builds for Christopher Nolan’s movie, The Odyssey. Nolan is known for filming movies with special IMAX cameras. He has encouraged people to watch his movies in IMAX. The larger screen allows viewers to see more detail and experience the full size of each scene.
