"Biggest IMAX Screen", German Cinema breaks world record

A German movie theater broke two Guinness World Records with an IMAX screen measuring a whopping 8,770.43 square meters. Traumplast Leonberg, a multiplex chain in Baden-Württemberg, installed a 39 by 21 cm IMAX screen, setting the Guinness World Records for the largest permanent IMAX screen and the largest permanent cinema screen overall.

Representatives of Guinness World Records said that the screen was measured by a specialized company using laser sensor technology, which allowed them to confirm the size of the screen with millimeter accuracy. They added that:

"To put that in perspective, the screen is wider than a Boeing 737 airplane."

The record-breaking journey began with their planned expansion of their cinema branch in Leonberg, where owner Marius Lochmann wanted to offer guests an unforgettable cinema experience. Construction of the IMAX cinema screen began in 2020 and was not completed until September 2021, just in time for the release of Daniel Craig's latest James Bond film 'No Time to Die'. Only in December last year, the screen was certified by Guinness World Records and given the title of the largest permanent cinema screen (overall) with a whopping 814.8 square meters (38.80 m x 21.00 m ). The screen currently stands as the largest due to the closure of IMAX Sydney, which has undergone extensive restoration.
