I was travelling for the last two weeks, so I missed the Superman release.

We are now two weeks later, and all the IMAX theaters around me have switched all of their showings to Fantastic Four. I was expecting a split between Superman and F4, did WB somehow messed up contractually?

FWIW - I saw both in Imax and Supes didn't benefit from it the way FF does.

I also caught FF in something called "Screen X" which has a fake Imax screen, but also projects on the two walls for a giant 270° image.

Totally superfluous, but kind of neat!

It was fascinating! I expected a gimmick where the image was stretched or copy/pasted or something, but it was actually new footage for the right and left walls.

Nothing IMPORTANT, just, you know, background scenes, but it was kind of neat.

That scene where the Surfer first comes down had the whole city scape from left to right.

It's kind of wild! In daylight scenes, the whole theater lights up because of 3 projectors. LOL.
