On the heels of reports that IMAX theaters have been posting sold-out signs at most of its super-screen theaters showing Warner Bros.' 300, the Toronto-based company announced Wednesday that it had signed deals to open five new theaters for Regal Cinemas and Dickinson Theaters in the mid-West. "Moviegoers are paying a premium to see Hollywood movies in IMAX's format, and with more major studio releases coming each year, we felt now was the right time to enter the IMAX theater business," said Dickinson Theaters CEO John Hartley. The Dickinson IMAX theaters will be opened prior to 2009. But the three Regal theater screens are expected to be installed within the next three months -- in time for the release of Spider-Man 3 in May.
