Imax Coming to Chinese Theatre in Hollywood

The new theater will seat 986 people.

Imax Corp. will open one of its big screen theaters in Hollywood at the former Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, now called TCL Chinese Theatre, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The Imax theater in Hollywood "will be 94 feet wide and seat 986 people," according to the Times.

It would be the third-largest Imax theater in North America, only slightly smaller than Imax venues in San Francisco and Lincoln Square in New York City.
