Ten new IMAX locations launching in Australia and New Zealand
So far there doesn’t seem to be word of where. Might I suggest somewhere on the NSW South Coast. Via HOYTS:
HOYTS Cinemas, Australia’s number one cinema chain with more than 30% of national admissions and IMAX Corporation has announced an agreement for 10 new state-of-the-art IMAX® with Laser locations across Australia and New Zealand. The deal will significantly expand the companies’ existing partnership — reignited last year with an agreement for four new IMAX locations. The latest expansion marks the largest IMAX agreement to date for Australia, nearly doubling IMAX’s footprint in the region.
In total, IMAX’s partnership with HOYTS will grow from four locations to 14 over the next two years. At least three new locations are set to open before the end of 2026, with additional locations set to open throughout 2027 and 2028.
The new HOYTS IMAX locations will be equipped with IMAX with Laser, IMAX’s most advanced cinema experience. Developed from the ground up for maximum immersion, IMAX with Laser delivers crystal-clear 4K images, precision audio, and state-of-the-art projection technology, setting a new standard for moviegoing.
The system features a groundbreaking optical engine, custom-designed lenses, and proprietary IMAX technology that delivers brighter images, deeper contrast, and the widest range of colours exclusively to IMAX screens.

The momentum will continue with the upcoming 2026 Filmed For IMAX slate, which includes the Warner Bros. release Mortal Kombat II and Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu in May.
