IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) and Cinemark Holdings Inc. today announced an agreement spanning 17 Cinemark locations in the United States and South America, bringing new IMAX® with Laser and IMAX 70mm film systems to the Cinemark network. Under the terms of the agreement, Cinemark will:

• Add four new IMAX with Laser systems in the United States and actively explore one additional location in South America
• Upgrade twelve systems to IMAX with Laser, making the entirety of Cinemark's U.S. IMAX footprint IMAX with Laser
• Activate three additional IMAX 70mm film projection systems

The IMAX 70mm film projection systems will be located in Cinemark Seven Bridges in the Woodridge suburb of Chicago, IL; Cinemark Carefree Circle in Colorado Springs, CO; and Cinemark Tinseltown in Rochester, NY. All three locations are set to be operational before Academy-Award winning director Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — the first theatrical release shot entirely in IMAX film — arrives in theaters July 17, 2026. Cinemark already has one the country's top-performing IMAX 70mm film locations at Cinemark Webb Chapel in Dallas, one of only two IMAX 70mm film projectors in Texas.
