IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The IMAX Experience is now IMAX’s highest grossing digitally re-mastered 2D release. With total grosses of more than $16 million on 89 IMAX(R) screens worldwide, it passes the record set by Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience, which grossed $15.9 million last year.

Of the seven films that grossed more than $200 million for 2005, three were simultaneously released by Warner Bros. Pictures in IMAX’s format: Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

I just wish there were more IMAX theatres. There’s only one in my area and you have to buy tickets weeks in advance.
