Imax brings the million-dollar screening room home
Los Angeles
WHEN Greg Foster is having a bad day, he retreats to a room deep in the bowels of Imax Corp's Los Angeles offices. There, the executive who heads Imax's entertainment division, can reconnect with what makes him love his job: watching movies.
In a large, nondescript building in an industrial area known as Silicon Beach, Imax has built a screening room with all the aspects that a viewer would want from a big-screen experience. The 60-foot-wide, 45-foot- high, curved screen tilts to an auditorium of 95 stadium-style seats. The one in the centre has accommodated the biggest directors in the world, such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens's JJ Abrams.
