Flying High in IMAX Theatres

SUBMITTED BY Kit-Kat

July 7, 2005

IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures announced Tuesday that Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience continued to post impressive box office results over the holiday weekend, grossing approximately $1.45 million on 55 North American IMAX screens from
Friday, July 1 to Monday, July 4. The film has shown strong legs since
debuting in IMAX(R) theatres, setting numerous records for a Hollywood
simultaneous release, including best seven-day opening and fastest grossing 2D
IMAX DMR(R) title. The IMAX release of Batman Begins has now grossed a total
of $8 million in North America, for a cumulative per screen average of more
than $145,000. The 18 international IMAX theatres playing Batman Begins: The
IMAX Experience have contributed an additional $1.58 million, bringing the
film's cumulative worldwide total to nearly $9.6 million.


"Movies are meant to be bigger than life and the marriage of Batman
Begins and IMAX delivers that experience," said director and co-screenwriter
Christopher Nolan. "It's been very gratifying to see how moviegoers have
embraced this film and I'm thrilled audiences have the opportunity to explore
the origins of the Batman legend in IMAX."


"The outstanding weekday grosses and holiday weekend performance reflect
this film's continued strong word of mouth, which gives us confidence Batman
Begins: The IMAX Experience will show strong legs for weeks to come," said
IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "The
film is already one of our fastest grossing digitally re-mastered titles, and
we believe it will ultimately be among our highest grossing IMAX DMR releases
ever. We are very pleased with the early results from our blockbuster summer
film slate and the financial returns it's generating for Warner Bros. Pictures
and the IMAX theatre network."


"Batman Begins is an exceptional film, and seeing it in IMAX's format is
a powerful and unique moviegoing experience - which is enticing people to
leave their homes and visit an IMAX theatre," said Greg Foster, Chairman and
President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "Moviegoers have shown they want to
experience today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters in IMAX's format and we're
very pleased to offer them this masterpiece from Warner Bros. Pictures and
Christopher Nolan."
