IMAX 3D Theater Listing for Avatar: Special Edition

As we have said previously, Avatar is returning to 3D and IMAX 3D theaters this Friday. Below is a listing of all the IMAX 3D theaters that will show James Cameron’s “Special Edition” that includes 9 minutes of extra footage.

Also coming in November are DVD and Blu-ray Special Editions that are expected to have more than 16 minutes of extra footage, followed by a 3D Blu-ray release next year. If you missed our interview with Cameron about this re-release, you can still watch it here!

Following the record-breaking IMAX(R) 3D release of the highest grossing movie of all-time, IMAX Corporation and Twentieth Century Fox today announced that Avatar: Special Edition will open in 175 IMAX(R) theatres worldwide – 125 domestic and 50 international locations – on August 27, 2010, simultaneously with the motion picture’s re-release in conventional theatres. This enhanced release will feature approximately nine additional minutes of never-before-seen footage and offers fans the opportunity to see it in IMAX theatres for a limited time only. Avatar has been digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience(R).

Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. More than ten years in the making, Avatar marks Cameron’s return to feature directing since helming 1997’s Titanic, the highest grossing film of all time and winner of eleven Oscars(R) including Best Picture. WETA Digital, renowned for its work in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and King Kong, incorporates new intuitive CGI technologies to transform the environments and characters into photorealistic 3D imagery that will transport the audience into the alien world rich with imaginative vistas, creatures and characters.

Avatar: Special Edition An IMAX 3D Experience is scheduled to play at the following IMAX(R) Theatres beginning August 27th.
