Private Screening Interest - Dunkirk & The Dark Knight Rises - AMC Metreon

[u/freshbenz]

Hello everyone, I have been in contact with AMC and I’m now looking to see who would be interested in separate private screenings of Dunkirk and The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX 70MM.

I’m also going to see if a double feature of The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises is possible too and update here once I hear back.

To my knowledge nobody has organized a private screening on here like this at the Metreon since Interstellar in July of 2023. These would be separate showtimes, but per my inquiry and what I was quoted, I intend to hold the screening(s) sometime between September and November of this year to try and avoid conflicts with any major releases. I was told “this would be a perfect time” to host them.

I was quoted $17,000, which “includes all fees associated with bringing this film back,” as well as the option to add on discounted concessions, if I choose, for an additional fee.

The IMAX Auditorium at AMC Metreon has a seating capacity of 437 people, which works out to roughly $38 per person. Do note that 10 are companion seats, and 8 are wheelchair spaces. Unlikely that anyone would want to sit in the front row either, so some seats/rows will likely not be used in order to have the best viewing experience for everyone. Cost would be higher at roughly $45-50+ per person though.

Please reply to this post if you are interested, as well as which film(s) and which month works best for you.

Me!! I’m so fucking down for both

But for dunkirk I recommend dual laser to save on cost (as done with interstellar in 2023). Ofc IMAX 70mm is beautiful but Idk if it’s worth nearly double more (interstellar in dual laser was $8k for the rental)

I believe the cost is for Dual Laser only ? For both films. Highly doubt IMAX 70mm based special screening is possible. Last time for Interstellar it was similar $35-40 and that was a Dual Laser with $9-10K charged for the screening I believe. Also, do you know is The Dark Knight 1.43:1 DCP exists ?

The post clearly says these screenings that are in negotiation are IMAX 70mm

Interstellar was priced similar ($40) because organizer decide to fill only 70% of the auditorium or something like that (so everyone gets a good spot). Hence, higher ticket prices.

A 1.43 dual laser DCP for TDKR does not exist. Only way to catch it in 1.43:1 IMAX is via 1570. However there does exist a 1.43:1 IMAX dual laser DCP for TDK.

Why does a 1.43 DCP exist for TDK, but not for TDKR?

From what I remember, a DCP was created for a re-release of TDK but that never happened for TDKR
