Imax is making waves in the film industry with its latest announcement of the biggest “filmed for Imax” slate in 2025. With at least 14 titles currently in production using Imax technology, the company is set to dominate the cinematic landscape next year. This surge in Imax-focused production comes on the heels of the massive success of films like Oppenheimer and Dune: Part Two, both of which relied heavily on Imax cameras for their breathtaking visuals.
Despite Imax’s limited number of commercial locations worldwide, the company has managed to capture a significant portion of the global box office. Both Oppenheimer and Dune: Part Two raked in over $190M and $145M respectively, with Imax contributing to more than 20% of their total box office earnings. This success has solidified Imax’s position as a valuable asset to filmmakers and studios looking to deliver an unparalleled cinematic experience to audiences.
Imax CEO Rich Gelfond emphasized the importance of Imax in not just presentation, but also in production quality. Imax is not just about showcasing big-budget blockbusters; it’s about pushing the boundaries of filmmaking and delivering the best possible viewing experience to audiences. With the development of next-generation 15/65mm film cameras and partnerships with acclaimed filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and Jordan Peele, Imax is set to revolutionize the way films are made.
Imax’s 2025 lineup includes a diverse range of projects, from Joseph Kosinski’s Formula One film to Todd Phillips’ intriguing Joker: Folie à Deux. These films, along with Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible 8, are set to showcase the full potential of Imax-certified digital cameras. With Imax’s commitment to innovation and collaboration with top-tier talent in the industry, audiences can expect a new era of cinematic excellence.
Imax’s rise to prominence in the film industry is a testament to its commitment to quality and innovation. As the company continues to push boundaries and redefine the cinematic experience, audiences can look forward to a future where every movie filmed for Imax offers a truly immersive and unparalleled viewing experience. With the 2025 lineup shaping up to be Imax’s biggest year yet, the future of filmmaking looks brighter and more exciting than ever before.
