We know that we can always rely on IMAX to offer audiences quality premium cinema experiences,&#8221; said &#8220;Avatar&#8221; producer <span class=\"xn-person\">Jon Landau<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Avatar&#8217; changed everything for IMAX \u2014 catapulting our brand into the stratosphere and putting us on the map in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> \u2014 and we&#8217;re grateful to help James, Jon, and this watershed film further cement their place in cinematic history,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Rich Gelfond<\/span>, CEO of IMAX. &#8220;Yet again, Chinese moviegoers are demonstrating the pent-up demand for theatrical blockbusters that awaits cinemas around the world as they reopen, and IMAX continues help lead the recovery of the global movie business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2010 IMAX 3D release of &#8220;Avatar&#8221; in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> was a phenomenon, earning <span class=\"xn-money\">$24 million<\/span> on only 14 IMAX screens \u2014 a per screen average of <span class=\"xn-money\">$1.7 million<\/span> \u2014 and playing to round-the-clock sold out shows. The film began IMAX&#8217;s ascent to become one of the most recognized entertainment brands in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>. The following year, IMAX signed a 75-theater deal with Wanda \u2014 at the time the company&#8217;s biggest international theater deal ever \u2014 and established IMAX China as its own wholly owned subsidiary of the company. Today, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> is IMAX&#8217;s biggest market in terms of theaters with more than 700, and the market accounts for approximately one-third of IMAX&#8217;s annual global box office.<\/p>\n<p>Nine out of the top ten of the highest performing Chinese cinemas showing &#8220;Avatar&#8221; over the weekend were IMAX locations, and the film is the highest grossing re-release in IMAX since Chinese cinemas reopened in July.<\/p>\n<p>With this weekend&#8217;s re-release, &#8220;Avatar&#8221; reclaimed the box office crown it relinquished to &#8220;Avengers: Endgame&#8221; in 2019. IMAX holds a piece of the storied history of both films. &#8220;Avengers: Endgame&#8221; continues to hold the record for the biggest opening weekend of any IMAX film ever with <span class=\"xn-money\">$91.5 million<\/span> worldwide, and was the second <span class=\"xn-location\">Hollywood<\/span> film ever to be shot entirely with IMAX cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The second and third installments of the &#8220;Avatar&#8221; saga are currently slated for December of 2022 and 2024, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About IMAX Corporation<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>IMAX, an innovator in entertainment technology, combines proprietary software, architecture and equipment to create experiences that take you beyond the edge of your seat to a world you&#8217;ve never imagined.
