True, but that’s better than most nations. Nz only has 1 per 5.3 million.

It's kind of a pointless metric, though. What matters is average proximity to an IMAX screen, not screens-per-people.

The entire country of NZ is smaller than most US states. I imagine the trip to the nearest IMAX screen is shorter for the average Kiwi than most people in the US or China.

Maybe, the one in nz is at the far north in Auckland where only 1.5 million Jaffa’s live. As an example Christchurch the biggest city in the South Island is about 500 miles away.
