IMAX Melbourne ranked #1 theatre in Australia for DUNKIRK Gross Box Office takings.

Melburnians and interstate visitors alike are watching Christopher Nolan’s ‘best film ever’ in their thousands at Melbourne’s singlescreen
IMAX theatre.

It’s a well-known fact that legendary director Christopher Nolan wants audiences to see the silver screen re-telling of the 1940 Evacuation of Dunkirk on IMAX 1570 Film. It turns out audiences are listening.

• IMAX is one of 535 screens in Australia showing the film, representing 0.1% of screen count
• Despite this, IMAX takings accounted for 3.25% of the total GBO take (DUNKIRK took $6,250,000 at the
• Australian Box Office; IMAX took $203,000 = 3.25%)
• Over 6,000 people attended IMAX to watch DUNKIRK over the opening five day period

DUNKIRK will be screening on both IMAX 1570 Film and in IMAX 4K Laser until the release of BLADE RUNNER 2049 on October 5.
