The most successful IMAX cinemas are in busy locations, humming with activity, like the BFI IMAX outside Waterloo Station in London, or the Lincoln Square outfit in Manhattan. So who has the highest grossing IMAX cinema in the world?
Sydney’s Darling Harbour. It gets between four and five hundred thousand visitors a year, including 88,000 students who fill the daytime sessions. Those figures beat any other of the 1,106 IMAX cinemas around the world.
