I've wrote to IMAX Corp to find out like three months ago, but they still didn't answer.
The laser versions for SW and BvS had the full 1.43:1 aspect ratio in 'real IMAX' theatres which had laser projection.

Apparently they're gonna do the same thing with early release for 35 and 70mm as Interstellar - https://indierevolver.com/2016/10/28/ir ... ays-early/

Is Laser still something only used in the US and UK? Really hope some theaters in my country will start using it... Even though there haven't been any 15/70mm IMAX screens here, only digital ones. But that doesn't prevent from the Laser technology to work tho right?

I'm pretty sure there's a 70mm IMAX in Berlin that uses laser, Australia too and so on. Having a 1.9:1 digital IMAX screen with laser projection will improve the image quality but not the aspect ratio as the screen is still 1.9

I don't think so. I did post in this thread recently lists of which IMAX cinemas got 70mm film prints of Dark Knight Rises, and also a couple of links where you can look up what IMAX cinemas even have the equipment to show 70mm film:

Here's a list, but it's from the 1st of april 2015... So I don't think it's of much use for you.

That's actually VERY great to hear! Thanks for the info. I have IMAX Laser in my country, but didn't manage to go to it yet. It would be absolutely amazing to have Dunkirk's full 1.43:1 copy playing in it next summer!
