Warner Brothers has always been the studio most consistently slapping their blockbusters on the biggest of big screens, and a recent agreement with IMAX Corp. means that won’t change for the next few years. Up to 20 of Warner Brothers biggest films will end up on IMAX screens in the wide variety of digital and traditional 70mm as well as the expected variety of Ds.
Some specifically mentioned films…
3D
Legends of the Guardian: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (September 24, 2010)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (November 19, 2010)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (July 15, 2011)
Happy Feet 2 (November 18, 2011)
Unspecified
The Hobbit (December 2013)
Gravity
Dark Shadows
Fury Road
Batman 3
Superman
From that you can discern some already-obvious information such as… The Hobbit is definitely a 2013 joint, Batman 3 may or may not be in 3D, and WB wants Superman on the screen sooner rather than later.
I’m lucky enough to live near a legit, 70mm IMAX theater and will certainly be enjoying this pipeline, but this also 20 more films to rip people off with dinky IMAX-licensed-screens showings, so beware!
Press Release.

Not sure why WARNER BROS is in such a hurry to bring SUPERMAN back to the screen when the so called "Reboot" didn't exactly light the world on fire at the time and took 6 months for it to break 200 Million Domestically??? I just think that no one in this day and age cares about a simplistic character like SUPERMAN cause there really isn't a great deal you can do with him other than what's already been done… SUPERMAN on the big screen died with Christopher Reeve and it's true…
Can't wait for the next Nolan-directed Bat sequel… I hope Nolan will put in Brainiac in this Superman reboot
@#1 There is PLENTY that can be done with Superman. Just look at the cartoon they did years ago. Pick ANY villian, and use him in the movie. Metallo, Parasite, Brainiac, Bizarro, etc. If they must use Luthor, put him in his super suit he has in the comics so he can fight Superman one on one. Iron Man is popular now. DC could ride those coattails with Luthor in his suit because that basically what it is: Iron Luthor. The thing missing from the Superman films since part 2 (What? There was a part 4? No there wasn't. You're lying.) is fights between Superman and other super powered beings. We get it. Superman can lift a plane or a…kryptonite…island…but I want to see him trading punches with another being that is just as strong as he is! Pull some stories from the comics! My idea for a Superman trilogy that could be adapted from one of the most popular Superman stories in the comics: Part one=Doomsday kills Superman. Part 2=World grieves and the 4 Superman posers show up. Part 3=Superman returns and takes care of business. Ending=WB gets Scrooge McDuck style Money Bin to swim in.
@ #3, please none of that bullshit doomsday/supermen nonsense from the early 90s, and please do't post your fan fic wet dreams. It all sounds as bad, if not worse, than Singer Delinquent superdad returns nonsense.
No wonder comics are dying…
I was actually hoping that "Big" was going to make it to IMAX. Can you imagine the size of those 1980's film making grains on the print?
IMAX is Canadian.
Guy Maddin is Canadian.
Make it happen!
#1 – Superman Returns wasn't a reboot, i took place in the continuity of 1 & 2.
Fucking assholes!
