Minnesota’s Largest IMAX Screen to Open in Dakota County
Twin Cities film enthusiasts are in for a treat as the state’s largest IMAX screen is set to open in Dakota County, offering an unparalleled cinematic experience. The new IMAX screen will be located at Emagine Lakeville, a popular theater chain with multiple locations in Minnesota. According to Melissa Boudreau, chief experience officer for Emagine, “This is our largest location in a growing community and we wanted to add the IMAX to enhance the guest experience.”
State-of-the-Art Technology and Immersive Experience
The massive IMAX screen will measure 64 feet wide and over 36 feet tall, featuring 4K laser projection, increased resolution, deeper contrast, and a patented multi-channel sound system. This cutting-edge technology will provide audiences with a fully immersive experience, making them feel like they are part of the story. The first film to be screened on this massive screen will be “Avatar: Fire and Ash” on December 19, according to a news release from the theater.
Located off Interstate 35 at 20653 Keokuk Ave., Emagine Lakeville is strategically positioned to attract visitors from the surrounding areas. As Tina Goodroad, community development director for the city, noted, “The theater is a draw not only for Lakeville but the surrounding area,” with nearby local shops and restaurants like Gary’s Supper Club, Terra Garden Center, and Porterhouse Steak and Seafood adding to its appeal.
Construction and Future Plans
Construction of the IMAX screen is expected to commence later this month, with ticket prices and showtimes to be announced soon. Potential titles that may be screened on the IMAX include “Project Hail Mary,” “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” and “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” Jon Goldstein, managing partner for Emagine, expressed his excitement, stating, “We can’t wait for audiences to experience the largest IMAX screen in Minnesota and be fully immersed in stories like never before.”
