Disney to Release 5 Films on IMAX, Starting With a Jim Carrey Movie
The Walt Disney Co. said Wednesday it agreed to deliver five movies via IMAX theatres beginning with the 3-D movie "A Christmas Carol," starring Jim Carrey, in November 2009.
Future films may also include those made by director Tim Burton and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the studio said.
Imax Corp. is in the midst of rolling out digital projection technology at its large-screen theatres and the Disney slate takes advantage of that.
As of September, Imax had 320 theatres worldwide and aims to have up to 50 converted to digital technology by the end of the year.
