News Summary:

On September 15, 2026, IMAX expanded its footprint with "IMAX Enhanced" for at-home viewing, building on the recent popularity of its 70mm presentations for films such as *The Odyssey* and *Dune: Part Three*. Also on September 15, the company released a *GODZILLA MINUS ZERO* x IMAX Merch Collection, celebrating the film as the first Japanese production "Filmed For IMAX®." Previously, on September 11, IMAX responded to the iPhone Duo’s tall display, which resembles its full-height theater format, by stating it was "still not watching movies on a phone," playfully avoiding commitments for new 1.43:1 content distribution. Earlier, on September 10, Disney reportedly created its own premium screen badge after IMAX declined to provide its screens for *Avengers*. This occurred during a record summer for North American theaters, which grossed $4.76 billion between May 1 and September 7. On the same day, a special feature highlighted how IMAX provides filmmakers with a cinematic canvas, demanding a balance between spectacle and storytelling, while its team works to redefine and expand the audience's theatrical experience.

IMAX responds to iPhone Duo’s cinema-shaped display with a reality check

IMAX has noticed that iPhone Duo’s unusually tall display is close to the shape of its full-height theater format, but the company is not ready to call a foldable phone a cinema. Responding to a question on X about bringing more 1.43:1 content to the device, the official IMAX account wrote, “love this for them… still not watching movies on a phone.” The reply is playful, and the joke avoids promising any new distribution arrangement.
