History

[edit]

In 1995, after 18 months of negotiations with the Darling Harbour Authority, Cinema Plus Pty Ltd received approval to construct an IMAX theatre in Sydney. The cinema featured a Grand Theatre screen with the capacity to seat 540 people, and its construction cost $18 million AUD.[2]

IMAX Sydney opened on 26 September 1996.[3][4] At the time of opening, it featured a 40m x 30m[5] screen, as well as an IMAX 15/70 projector. The cinema opened with a party that was attended by 700 guests who viewed a screening of the film The Living Sea.[4][5]

In 2012, a new 29.7m x 35.7m screen was installed at a cost of $250,000.[6]

On 25 September 2016, the cinema was demolished in order to make way for a new complex called The Ribbon that was planned to open in 2019.[7]

On 11 October 2023, after 4 years of delays, the cinema reopened with a screening of Avatar: The Way of Water.[8][1] After its reopening, the cinema featured 430 seats with an IMAX dual laser projection system, as well as a 12 Channel sound system and a 29m x 24m screen.[9][10][11][12]
