      "text": "IMAX Corporation is an entertainment-technology company whose business combines digitally remastering and distributing films and other content with selling or leasing specialized theater systems. Its offerings bring together projection and sound technology, large screens, and proprietary auditorium design; content includes Hollywood and local-language films as well as documentaries and event programming. IMAX primarily serves cinema exhibitors and other venue operators rather than owning or operating the theaters itself.

At December 31, 2025, IMAX reported 1,864 operating systems across 91 countries and territories. Revenue was $410.2 million for fiscal 2025; a secondary data source estimates 679 employees at year-end 2025.

Commercial arrangements may combine upfront payments, annual minimums and fees linked to box-office performance. Its projection offerings include digital 2D/3D systems and 70mm film systems used for selected releases. IMAX with Laser uses dual 4K laser projection, supports presentations up to a 1.43:1 aspect ratio, and pairs projection with a 12-channel sound system.
