Where can I see Dune 3 (Dune: Part Three) in IMAX 70mm in Florida?

At the AutoNation IMAX Theater inside the Museum of Discovery and Science, 401 SW 2nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312. It is the only theater in Florida with a 15/70mm IMAX film projector.

Is the Fort Lauderdale IMAX really the only 70mm IMAX theater in Florida?

Yes. Of the 25 U.S. theaters showing Dune: Part Three in IMAX 70mm, the AutoNation IMAX is the only one in Florida. No theater in Miami, Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville can project 15/70mm film.

IMAX 70mm, also called 15/70mm, is a film format that runs 70mm film horizontally through the projector at 15 perforations per frame. Each frame is roughly 10 times the size of a standard 35mm frame, which is why the image can fill a six-story screen at a 1.43:1 aspect ratio with exceptional detail.

Was Dune: Part Three shot with IMAX cameras?

Partly. It is the first Dune film shot with IMAX 15/70mm film cameras for select sequences. Most of the movie was shot on 65mm film, and the desert scenes were shot on IMAX-certified digital cameras. In IMAX 70mm theaters, 71 minutes of the film expand to the full 1.43:1 frame.

Why IMAX 70mm matters for Dune: Part Three

Dune: Part Three is the first film in the trilogy shot partly with IMAX 15/70mm film cameras. Villeneuve and cinematographer Linus Sandgren shot most of the movie on 65mm film, with select sequences on IMAX film and the desert scenes on IMAX-certified digital cameras. The result is 71 minutes of expanded imagery that opens up to the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame.

On a standard widescreen, those sequences are cropped to a letterbox shape. On a true 15/70mm film print, they fill the entire six-story screen from top to bottom, far more of the frame than a conventional 2.39:1 presentation. That is the reason fans travel for this format.

Only a few dozen theaters worldwide still run 15/70mm projectors, and 25 of them are in the United States. The film also arrives with an IMAX-optimized sound mix built for these rooms.

Where is the only IMAX 70mm theater in Florida?

The AutoNation IMAX Theater sits inside the Museum of Discovery and Science in downtown Fort Lauderdale's Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District. The screen is six stories tall, 65 feet high by 85 feet wide, and the museum bills it as South Florida's largest. It is one of only three Certified Giant Screen Cinemas in Florida and the only Florida theater that runs both 15/70mm film and laser projection.

No theater in Miami, Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville can show Dune: Part Three this way. The closest alternatives are out of state, at Regal Mall of Georgia outside Atlanta and at the IMAX theaters in Chattanooga and Nashville.

The museum has done this before. When Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opened here in 70mm this summer, the museum sold more than 35,000 tickets by late July, the equivalent of 136 straight sellouts. Museum president and CEO Joe Cox told WLRN that fans drove from Atlanta and flew in from Puerto Rico, and called the theater "a regional cultural destination."

Getting to the AutoNation IMAX Theater

The museum is at 401 SW 2nd Street, a few blocks from the New River and about half a mile from the Fort Lauderdale Brightline station at 101 NW 2nd Avenue, roughly an eight-minute walk. Brightline connects Fort Lauderdale with Miami and West Palm Beach in well under an hour and with Orlando in a few hours, which makes a 70mm matinee a realistic day trip from anywhere in South Florida. From the station, the free LauderGO! Micro Mover serves the museum, Las Olas Boulevard and the beach.

Driving? The Arts and Entertainment Garage next to the museum takes credit cards and the ParkMobile app, street parking runs along SW 2nd Street, and nearby garages generally charge $5 to $15. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is a short drive away, and Brightline runs a free shuttle between its station and the airport.

Make a night of it in downtown Fort Lauderdale

The museum's 200-plus hands-on exhibits are open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., so an afternoon in the galleries flows straight into an evening show. Outside, the Riverwalk runs along the New River to Huizenga Park, freshly reopened after a $15 million renovation, and the restaurants and bars of Las Olas Boulevard are a short walk east. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts and the NSU Art Museum are neighbors.

Coming from out of town for the full 70mm experience? Downtown and beach hotels put you within a short ride of the theater, and December in Greater Fort Lauderdale means beach weather between screenings. For more ideas, browse Things to Do.
