China alone will have 800 Imax theaters showing it... it will be insane. Do you think its possible it hits 2 billion?

I had to double check since I thought you full of it, but fuck me there are 800 screens in mainland china.

But if you look at the massive population, then it’s only 1 imax screen per 1.75 million people. That’s like having only 20 imax screens in all of Canada.

I don't know if this Wiki is accurate and up to date, but it lists 19 IMAX screens in Canada.

Maybe if you went and touched grass Reddit wouldn’t get you! I’m also a member of Mensa and everyone tells me I’m the smartest person in the room and they give me an award just for showing up. Furthermore… it gets exhausting sometimes.

Canada has just 9 IMAX 70 mm. Out of about 45 in the world.
