Most 'IMAX' Movies Aren't Actually IMAX Film

Atom Search related

There's a hidden hierarchy most moviegoers don't realize: a film can be shot with IMAX cameras but still projected digitally in an 'IMAX Laser' theater. Oppenheimer was one of the rare theatrical releases to actually receive an IMAX 70mm film print, projected on 15-perf 70mm IMAX film projectors. Movies like First Man and Nope were IMAX-shot but digitally projected — meaning the audience never actually saw a film-based IMAX image.
