IMAX CORPORATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMC ENTERTAINMENT® BRINGS THE IMAX EXPERIENCE®
TO AMC METHUEN 20

AMC METHUEN THE FIRST THEATRE IN THE NORTHEAST TO OPEN WITH HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

New IMAX® theatre opens at AMC Methuen 20 on July 24

Boston – July 20, 2009 – AMC Entertainment Inc. (AMC), a leading theatrical exhibition and entertainment company, announces today that guests visiting AMC Methuen 20 can now enjoy The IMAX Experience® from IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX). AMC Methuen 20 will be the first theatre in the Northeast to open with HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE five days prior to other IMAX theaters throughout the country on Friday, July 24, 2009.

The IMAX Experience combines crystal-clear images, powerful digital sound and customized theatre geometry – through the modification of an existing auditorium – to create a uniquely immersive movie experience. The field of view is maximized by installing a new screen that is slightly curved and positioned closer to the audience by removing seats, resulting in superior angles and sight lines for guests.

IMAX’s digital projection system combines two digital projectors with IMAX’s proprietary image enhancer and custom lenses to create an image with greater clarity, brightness and contrast. The images on screen are complemented with IMAX’s latest sound system, which features its proprietary loudspeaker technology and uncompressed digital sound. This system has ten times more dynamic range, cuts down on distortion and provides a sound quality that feels more immersive, especially with added acoustic paneling that absorbs sound and removes echo.

The addition of IMAX at AMC Methuen 20 builds upon decades of AMC offering the best and broadest menu of entertainment choices for guests seeking an unparalleled experience. Guests at AMC Methuen 20 will take in the world’s most immersive cinematic experience when “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” – featuring select scenes in IMAX 3D opens on July 24. The film has been digitally re-mastered into IMAX’s format exclusively for presentation in the IMAX auditorium. In addition to IMAX-formatted movies, AMC delivers other types of entertainment to guests, including live and pre-recorded alternative content events.

The IMAX® theatre at AMC Methuen 20 will feature IMAX’s digital projection system and exhibit Hollywood’s biggest movies that have been digitally re-mastered into IMAX’s format.

Upcoming Hollywood movies to be released in IMAX’s format include: “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” (Nov. 6); “Avatar” (Dec. 18); “Alice in Wonderland” (March 5, 2010) “How to Train Your Dragon” (March 26, 2010) and “Shrek Goes Fourth” (May 21, 2010).
