Start with the actual release
If the actual release has no IMAX, Dolby Cinema or CINITY version, we do not force premium-format theaters into a ranking.
RECOMMENDATION RULES
What matters is simple: which version exists, whether the auditorium can present it properly, and whether the trip makes sense.
If the actual release has no IMAX, Dolby Cinema or CINITY version, we do not force premium-format theaters into a ranking.
Aspect ratio, frame rate and presentation equipment must match. Science venues, domes and non-commercial auditoriums are excluded.
Best experience compares screens, seat maps and equipment. Nearby only reorders options with similar capability.
Showtime formats can vary. Even a 1.43-capable auditorium needs the actual 1.43 presentation for the booked show.
They remain searchable and receive practical standard-screen advice, without a meaningless premium-format ranking.
Titles, dates and runtimes are checked against official theatrical calendars; release formats prioritize studios, distributors and format brands.
TMDB is used for identity and poster indexing, not release decisions. Community posts discover and cross-check issues but are not sole evidence.
