Well bear in mind - the temporary IMAX would be 1.90:1, not 1.44:1. Not to mention digital, instead of 70mm. Nolan's making sure all premieres play in 70mm film - regular or IMAX.

And it won't be the world first public screening of the film haha. There's still the London one taking place three days prior.... And it won't be the first premiere - again, there's a London one three days prior and there'll be one more US premiere before that I bet.

So the main screen will be temporary IMAX, but a digital one? And then there's also a 70mm screening or does that get the biggest screen?

Ohh, I was imagining a 70mm screen.

But digital, that's a whole different story; Mr. Nolan hates those, for sure.

No, we're talking hypothetically.

No.

The initial idea for the Dunkerque premiere was to put a temporary digital IMAX in the Kursaal. Nolan said no. So what they're doing is taking over the Ocine multiplex, and bringing in a non-IMAX 70mm projector for the main/biggest screen.

Ah now I understand. Thanks. Hope I get tickets and can make it lol

Going to throw it out there that it'll be the BFI. If true, gives them no excuse to do the early screening in 70mm instead of 15/70.

The July 13 date is true. As I said earlier, the main red carpet/screening will be at Odeon Leicester Square in regular 70mm, with a second red carpet at the BFI IMAX also expected (in 70mm IMAX). Then the BFI Southbank is having a (now sold out) public preview later that evening in regular 70mm with Nolan introducing.

Vader, not sure what you mean by no excuse. The BFI IMAX is gonna be used as part of the premiere like it was on TDKR and Interstellar and BvS so of course the BFI has to use their non-IMAX Southbank venue for the public preview.

Why can't they use the BFI IMAX for the premiere and for the public preview?
