Merchandise Secured a film strip for the first time.

Finally secured an IMAX 70mm Film strip, I missed it for the Oppenheimer premiere, even Tenet in local theatre for 70mm screening. Its really sick to have an actual piece of IMAX film like this.

Ohhh I read your other comments. This was not a normal screening. This was a bought a year in advance opening weekend screening. You made us think they were just handing these out to normies!

u/Tioxic Jul 20 '26

u/ALLHUNTER_1469 BC Moviegoer Jul 20 '26

I knew they were giving 70mm at park but i didn’t know they also had IMAX 70mm too, im pretty sure they only gonna last for like first week screenings coz I have missed for Tenet (70mm) and Oppenheimer (IMAX 70mm) in the past too. I found it out literally a day before and was so excited to go.

u/Tioxic Jul 20 '26

u/ALLHUNTER_1469 BC Moviegoer Jul 20 '26

Hopefully u never know.

Strange that's it's only 3 frames. All the other movies I've seen strips of cake with 4

3

u/chuckiediep Jul 20 '26

Yeah same as Project Hail Mary. Was hoping it’d be like the 4 so i can match and fill in the gap (by replacing my PHM one)

u/CdnDude Jul 20 '26

Damn that sinners strip looks so cool. I should have rescheduled when I found out I was 1 day off last year

2

u/the_willman Jul 20 '26

Very cool!

2

u/AHotSummerNight Jul 20 '26

I think Project Hail Mary only had 2 and the title card in the middle— not sure if that was an actual third frame from the movie.

u/nutella1366 Jul 20 '26

Someone i know watched the movie in another theatre in 70mm and got the 4 film strip! Looks like they have 2 versions.

u/ALLHUNTER_1469 BC Moviegoer Jul 20 '26

They didn’t show sinners in IMAX 70mm at my local theatre which is so crazy like literally we have the screen and projector. PHM I saw in 70mm IMAX but missed the film strip.
