I was travelling for the last two weeks, so I missed the Superman release.
We are now two weeks later, and all the IMAX theaters around me have switched all of their showings to Fantastic Four. I was expecting a split between Superman and F4, did WB somehow messed up contractually?

FWIW - I saw both in Imax and Supes didn’t benefit from it the way FF does.
I also caught FF in something called “Screen X” which has a fake Imax screen, but also projects on the two walls for a giant 270° image.
Totally superfluous, but kind of neat!
Interesting!
Forgot the pics:
What it looks like going in:
What it looks like in practice:
Pretty cool!
It’s kind of wild! In daylight scenes, the whole theater lights up because of 3 projectors. LOL.
It was fascinating! I expected a gimmick where the image was stretched or copy/pasted or something, but it was actually new footage for the right and left walls.
Nothing IMPORTANT, just, you know, background scenes, but it was kind of neat.
That scene where the Surfer first comes down had the whole city scape from left to right.
IMAX runs in general tend to be short, because the theaters need to make room for the next movie showing in IMAX.
I think only Christopher Nolan has that kind of pull in the industry to demand exclusivity to IMAX. It sucks, but the only guaranteed way to see IMAX movies is on opening weekend (or hope for a re-release).
Unfortunately two weeks is a long time for an IMAX theater to have the same movie and ticket sales drop off massively by then.
Hm, I didn’t know. I guess I was lucky when Dune Part II came out, I was able to see it quickly
