The worlds biggest Imax screen is all set to open its gates on Thursday in Germany, kicking off with the premiere of the latest James Bond film 'No Time to Die'.
The screen, located at the Traumaplast Multiplex in Leonberg, is wider than a Boeing 737 airliner at nearly 70 feet high and around 125 feet across. It was so large it had to be painted by a specifically designed robotic arm, reports variety.com.
The theatre housing it seats 574, and features Imax with Laser technology and Imax's 12-channel sound technology with new side and overhead channels for greater range and precision.
