Last December, the company inked a multi-picture deal with Twentieth Century Fox Film, a division of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (FOX - Free Report) . By dint of this agreement, partnership is extended between the companies through 2019. It covers flicks like Kingsman: The Golden Circle, released in September 2017, The Darkest Minds as well as Marvel movies namely The New Mutants, X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Gambit. All films will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX format and released at IMAX halls.
In June 2017, the company entered into an agreement with AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC - Free Report) owned AMC Theatres for the launch of an IMAX VR Centre at AMC Kips Bay 15 in New York City.
IMAX also collaborated with The Walt Disney Company (DIS - Free Report) , a few years back, pertaining to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens from the popular Star Wars franchise on all its screens across North America for four weeks from the date of its release.
