IMAX operates state-of-the-art 3D motion picture platforms. The company is headquartered in New York, Toronto and Los Angeles, with offices in London, Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing.
The total IMAX theater network consisted of 934 systems as of December 31, 2014, of which 809 were in commercial multiplexes.
The Company's activities include the design, leasing, marketing, maintenance, and operation of IMAX theatre systems, as well as the development, production, post-production and distribution of IMAX motion pictures. IMAX commits significant funding to ongoing research and development and has developed a digital projection system which provides consumers with the premium IMAX experience they have come to know, value and expect.
The IMAX theatre network is among the most important and successful theatrical distribution platforms for major event Hollywood films, with IMAX theatres delivering the world's best movie presentations using proprietary IMAX, IMAX 3D, and IMAX DMR technology.
IMAX Corporation is a publicly traded company listed on both the Toronto and Nasdaq stock exchanges.
In 2014, the company reported revenues of $290.5 million, up from $287.9 million, and net income of $44.1 million.
In 2014, the company reported 121 installations of its screens in 24 countries. The company also reported a global 2014 per screen average of $1,020,600.
"We achieved a great deal over the course of 2014, including the completion of our world-class laser projection system, the sale of a 20% stake in our China business, the signing of long term film deals with most major studios and continued network growth," said IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond. "We believe these accomplishments position us well, not only to take advantage of the 2015 film slate, which is already off to a great start, but also to help drive long-term growth."
History
The IMAX system has its roots in EXPO '67 in Montreal, Canada where multi-screen films were the hit of the fair. A small group of Canadian filmmakers/entrepreneurs who had made some of those popular films, decided to design a new system using a single, powerful projector, rather than the cumbersome multiple projectors used at that time. The result: the IMAX motion picture projection system.
IMAX technology premiered at the Fuji Pavilion, EXPO '70 in Osaka, Japan.
The first permanent IMAX projection system was installed at Ontario Place's Cinesphere in Toronto in 1971. IMAX Dome (OMNIMAX) debuted at the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theatre in San Diego in 1973.
The company went public on NASDAQ in June 1994.
